MAKER FAIRE UK UNVEILS A LINE UP NOT TO BE MISSED


Dinosaur cloning, 3D action Makie dolls created by lasers and robots and bacterial ‘kiss’ portraits are just a fraction of the exciting line up at the world-famous Maker Faire UK taking place this 27-28 April, for which tickets have now gone on sale.


There is something for everyone, starting with a humanoid knitting robot looking to out-knit the most practised hand. PEEPSHOW, two full size animated pole dancers with a robot DJ are expected to cause quite a stir with adults, while no one will be able to resist PancakeBot, a little LEGO robot that draws pancakes words and pictures on an electric griddle.
