MakerCamp Day 9

Today (Monday) we are all back and rested for a new week of finding ideas on a project we would like to work on. Also there was a talk about making a startup without tach knowledge which was very interesting and informative. The rest of the day people were looking at the projects they had chosen (I hadn't), while I was wondering around trying to find one. After Lunch the guy from Fritzing came over to talk to each and every one of us about our projects and what the futures for it are. He also gave me inspiration to make a game and that is one of my projects today (#day11)

Day 10

This day took of really fast because we immediately started with a soldering session mentored by a really great guy, Clement Quinson from Electrolab. The mentor and I had a conversation on creating DIY PBC-s (Printed Circuit).  I’ve tried to do that before but failed, which is why I found his tips really helpful. Clement and I discussed about his Electrolab in France and he gave me useful suggestions on starting a MakerLab community like his back in Ljubljana. Next thing we did was a fast cleanup of the whole camp before the Creative Coding workshop began. It was quite interesting, but my Laptop battery was starting to run low and that’s why I’ve decided to help others learn as much as possible. It was a really good experience because one minute I was thinking of how I could explain things better and when I put myself to practice I noticed it takes real skill to make programming simple and interesting for ultra-beginners.
