Last week I had the pleasure of visiting the 2013 Toronto Mini Maker Faire at Wynchwood Barns. This was a treat for me for a few different reasons, not least of which is this was my first visit to Wynchwood, after following its evolution over the years in the popular press. Of course there was the sheer DIY explosion of creativity at the Faire which I think is the main attraction for nearly everyone who attends.
My eldest daughter immediately made a beeline for the 3-D printers and my youngest loved the frozen nitrogen ice cream. When asked what they liked after the Faire, they said ‘everything’. Also, there were added bonuses like a cameo by the Leap Motion controller and non-Toronto organizations like think|haus. A nostalgic tear came to my eye watching the robots from R2robotics. Yeah, I’m a geek.
From the event, I put together a photo blog, where I will be adding comments over the next few days.
Thanks to the organizers for putting together this great event.
Looks like you guys had a great time. The R2s are fantastic!
