Hi everyone.

We’re less than 10 days away from the event and the sign ups are still quite low :disappointed_relieved:

Anything you can do to help get the word out about the event very much appreciated!

@members! Got anything to show and tell, or a workshop you want to tun for International Arduino Day, a week on Saturday?

Doesn’t have to be Arduino…but should have at least some level of microcontroller…if only a blinking LED
@platinumnqueen22 did you sign up already?

@Dani_Clode also said she might be interested

Alas, I am not in London that weekend, or would have been there for sure!

Hi put me down dear sir, ive booked the day off work , many thanks Brian

Hi everyone here is a list of projects to be showcased so far.

Btw would be good to have the confirmed list of workshops, I think @Courty you mentioned workshops on Arduino + ESP8266?

Projects:

  • Arduino, Studuino and micro:bit robot projects and Chimera, a robotic tubular bells installation
  • Art installation using touch sensors and conductive ink to trigger stories
  • Fashion tech: Raspberry Pi Floral necklace
  • Educational robot kit
  • Instruments and interfaces combining music, engineering, electronics and coding for educational projects
  • Resistomatic: a micro:bit/Arduino simple auto-ranging resistance meter
  • Micro:bit Projects
  • Upcycled toys with Arduino
  • Arduino Flight Controllers (will not fly, just for display)
  • Ohbot, an educational robot head
  • Arduino, Esp8266 and Raspberry Pi Robots by Orionrobots -
  • Omniboard (microcontrollers)

If you haven’t already then sign-up here unless @Courty or @marc_barto have already done it?

Do we have to signup to be a ‘punter’?

Just turning up is fine ! :smile:

Courty

Thanks for the prompt response and call me stupid but I still can’t see whether I need to sign up to attend the event. What happens if I just turn up?

If they don’t let you in ask them to get me.

Thanks to you to organise such a wonderful event and to @unknowndomain to be there to help and make sure that everything was fine (and take care of the ones who manage to hurt themselves during the day ) and everyone who was there !
