It’s almost time up. DublinMaker is upon us. The lights might be burning late in Blackpitts tonight, as our members finish the last of our projects and props. No matter how late we stay up tonight however, we’ll be in Merrion Square tomorrow, so be sure to drop by our stand.

As the website says…. See you 22nd July. No Tickets. Just come. Merrion Square. It is a rectangle, but don’t let that worry you……. Yes it’s Dublin Maker again and TOG will be there. It’s not long to go now. Less than a month. We’re  busy panicking about what to bring and will it be ready on time. Be sure to drop by our stand.

From the Dublin Maker website…. “Dublin Maker is a free to attend, community run event, which will be held on Saturday July 22nd, 2017 in Merrion Square, Dublin. Dublin Maker takes the form of a “show and tell” experience where inventors/makers sourced through an open call, will have an opportunity to showcase their creations at individual booths in a carnival atmosphere. It is a family friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making and share what they are learning. Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, artists, science clubs, students, authors and commercial exhibitors. They are of all ages and backgrounds, coming from all over Ireland and beyond. Dublin Maker’s mission is to entertain, inform and connect the makers of Ireland, while inspiring the next generation of Ireland’s makers and inventors.”

Back by popular demand, it’s our electronic “Build-It” workshop in TOG on Saturday 20th May from 15:00 – 18:00. Many visitors to TOG tell us that they would like to get started with electronics, soldering or assembly, but they are unsure how to do so. This workshop will help. You get to build (and keep) an electronic kit. The kit that we have chosen is a line-follower robot car. It will follow a black line or any line where there is reasonable contrast. You can see a video of the kit in action, from our previous workshop here.

The kit comes as a complete set of mechanical and electronic parts including a bare circuit board. You do all the electronic assembly and soldering as well as the mechanical assembly. If you’ve never built an electronics kit or soldered before, then this workshop is ideal for you. We’ll show you everything that you need to know. No previous experience at electronics, soldering or kit assembly is needed. We’ll explain the circuit and how it works too. All tools and equipment are provided. The workshop will take up to 3 hours, which is plenty of time. All proceeds from this event go to support TOG.

You might like to stick around afterwards for our regular Open Social evening which is happening on the same day.

*** You must be 18 or older to take part in this workshop. Please do not book places for children ***
