Highlights include: Doug's Clocks, Lamps and 3D prints - Unique timepieces combining 3D printing and vivid neon-style lighting, turning time display into something playful and beautiful. Lamps that will be admired by gearheads and art enthusiasts. Sophisticated examples of 3d printing from different tech and colors The Explorer - A life-sized humanoid sculpture made entirely from found objects, blending storytelling and sculpture in an eye-catching form. Copperbot - Dave's always-evolving robotics-meets-art creation is built on hand-bent copper wires, including antique vacuum tubes, hundreds of LEDs, cameras, sensors, stereo sound, a few Arduinos, a Pi, a cup holder, and kinetic flapping wings — all merging into a captivating piece of interactive kinetic art. How to build a bot - find out how to build a remote controlled bot, from an electric wheelchair base, adding motor drivers, remote control and more.

Doug and Dave met when their kids were in the early Young Makers program. Now the children are adults and moved on, but we're still building, creating and experimenting with new materials and methods. Doug brings experience with modeling and fabrication using 3D printers and machine tools. Dave is a retired computer engineer and compulsive builder.
