However, 'owt is better than nowt and it's great to see local makers turning out to support this event in its third year.Having 3 under 12s with me meant I had little chance to take all the pictures I wanted to. I got some though...
There was a soldering workshop in the main foyer. The task was to build a simple circuit which comprised of a battery, switch and a couple of colur cycling LEDs. My posse had a try..and did quite well considering it was their first time at soldering. Credits to the guys on the stand who had the patience of saints.....
An artist called "Dutch Cyclist" had mad life size Lego heads that the kids found enticing.....

York Hackerspace had a great space themed game that required players to co-operate with eath other to win:
Hacman, my local Hackerspace had a stand showing what the members have been up to:
