11.01.2022 Tadhg, a student at a local school is mentored by one of our committee members. Here's a message from her to inspire us all to do some more making this weekend. ~~~~~~ Hi, my name is Tadhg and I am 13 years old. I 3D printed and assembled this Otto at Makerspace community with the help of the team there. I coded it to dance, walk and make noise with block coding and it was heaps of fun.... #3DPrinting #Otto #Robot #Arduino
