Minipovs are fun to make, and ever more fun to hack

One last mini episode this winter, all about Ladyada's own MiniPOV3 hand-held persistence of vision display kit you make and program yourself! This was a really fun episode to make.

Screen Printing made Super Simple

Hey everybody. Another week, another Mini Maker show! This time we make some t-shirts and little posters using super simple screen printing! I thought it was going to be harder, but after a little practice, I found it was fun and easy!

One problem might be that you need a lot of stuff to print on to make it worth spending the time on a screen, but if you want to make lots of shirts or valentines, it's a great idea!

Have fun with this one, and remember to get out there and make something!

Junkbots are fun!

I got to help build Mousey the Junkbot this week with my dad, it was lots of fun! (but even more fun to play with and decorate!) Check out the video on youtube or the post on Makezine.com. Two more mini maker shows to come!
