We had a great time at the Houston Mini Maker Faire this past Saturday (November 14th). Calling it “mini” doesn’t quite do it justice, however. They had a great turnout and the audience was full of energy and excitement. We were busy talking with people and running our demo’s all day. I encourage everyone to […]
