“Play & Plug” – Counterintuitive game controllers.

You’ve seen Pi-upgraded consoles. You’ve seen plug-n-play controllers with a pi or arduino built in, and games preloaded. What is “Counterintuitive Retrogaming?” How do you follow up an all-scrap upcycled 8-bit game controller? Tune in and find out! This is the latest in many years of retro-game projects and demonstrations Elijah has presented at Faire locations and in MakeZine, starting in 2016 with his first Maker Faire appearance and his Altoids Box Retro-Pi build. Starting as a street-advertising volunteer, Elijah has worked as a panelist, demonstrated projects on stage, mentored in seminars, and interacted with the public at booths and tables both for himself and while representing companies. While not at work, he’s been known to help stir up “creative mischief” on Faire grounds from Rochester to San Mateo including googley-eye “guerrilla art” and improvised pyrotechnics . He HAD the fire marshal’s permission. Really. You may have seen his High Altitude Balloon story on local news in the greater Wilkes-Barre region, or seen him with his Maker Faire friend & MythBusters Jr Co-star Allie Weber or their rag-tag group of “Problem Kids” in MakeZine or on Twitter.

CYBERTRUCKZILLA

When you simply have to have the newest toy, you print it, reiterate it and just keep on going. This is exactly what happened the day after the CYBERTRUCK unveiling! As soon as the kids saw it, they just wanted it and thanks to our great friends at Tangilble Creative https://tangiblecreative.com and Ants In Africa http://www.antsinafrica.co.za we were able to start printing it shortly after. Not only did this get all of us excited but also got us thinking about enhancements and accessories and we have a big surprise for you if you plan on attending the virtual faire with us so please bookmark this page and save the date for the unveiling!! We look forward to seeing you and sharing in proper Maker fashion!
