Big Day Out Summary
We had blast of a day at this event . We had 100s of people try out our 2 buzzer games with one guy having completed it with no beeps.
Which is a huge feat.
I think it gave us a good idea of what maker faire will be like . Our other craft projects on display were a hit.
We made our submission to the open call during the week .
I have taken a role on the organization team of the faire . I hope to see it ad a great chance to show case what Irish makers are making .
Finally a big thank you to the people who gave up their Sunday to help out today. We had to listen to 6 hours of beeping .
