Conors intern projects
In the maker lab this week we found Conor - a transition year student who has been doing fabulous work for John Malocco . Nothing to do with the Makers club but had to put it on the blog as he did such a great job of programming autonomous Lego mindstorms robots to track a ball for robo soccer purposes.

PCBs
I forgot to video anything last week as I spent the last hour watching Joe's PCB etch at its leisurely pace in the tank. It was an exciting week as we learned that we received grant support from the Dublin - European City of Science 2012 committee towards organising the first ever Dublin Maker Faire with the great people at the Science Gallery (Ian, Alison) and David McKeown. We now have to get busy building an exhibit good enough to make the day itself.

Welcome back!
Hi everyone,
We will be launching the NUIM Makers Club for the new academic year on the 14th October 2011. The venue is room 2.07 in the Engineering Building. This year's theme will be music and we will devote energy and effort into the development of new forms of musical creation, synthesis and performance. I am hoping that we can put on a live musical performance using our creations towards the end of the academic year. It should be a lot of fun. Come to Room 2.07 on the 14th October to learn more and enjoy a slice of pizza or two.

Arcade machine launch
It's end of term and the last exam was today so we had our get together with students and staff. It was the perfect opportunity to launch the arcade. As you can see it went down very well. This is the end of regular makers club until next term. I think we ended on a high and a really fun make.
