Microduino - Itty Bitty City Review



Sorry, I made this four months ago, and got caught up in the end of school festivities. I just realized I never posted this video!  I also want to give a shout out to Microduino for allowing me to do a review on their Itty Bitty City kit, and share this amazing kit with so many other people. Enjoy the video!

Maker Faire Rochester


          I mentioned in my last post the I would inform all of you about Maker Faire Rochester. Recently we have become a two day event, which has allowed us to be a Maker Faire instead of a "Mini Maker Faire." Also I am now a co-chair for Maker Faire Rochester which will be held at the Riverside Convention center in Rochester, New York  on November 16th - 17th. The first day is a student STEAM fest day for students only. The second day however is open to the public.
          At Maker Faire Rochester we have a booth for everyone no matter your age. We have everything from art to technology, whatever you like we have it. If you like to paint, make cosplays, build a robot, dance, design, sew, build, program, and so much more than Maker Faire Rochester is just were you should be. Plus you can bring your entire family. Hope to see you there!

Summer Preview


           Thank you all for being so patient. I have been very busy with final projects, and exams for school. Now that school is out I have more time to work on Rosie's Robots. I have many projects that I am excited to share with all of you, and I hope you are excited to see whats in store for my future posts.
          I have videos I made a while ago, and just haven't had time to edit and post. As well as I have been working on Maker Faire Rochester which I will talk about in another post. I am working on improving the Pin Box 3000 to make it more fun for people to use at different events I attend. So again thank you all for being patient.

Why Kids Should Have Booths at a Maker Faire


For this video my dad asked me if I could make a quick video for a group of teacher he works with about what I've learned by having my Rosie's Robots booth at many Maker events over the past few years. This video is just my thoughts and opinion on what kids can learn and why they should do it. I've had booths at STEAM events for different education groups, I've had tables at both the Buffalo Science Museum and the Rochester Science Museum for special event days, Rochester Mini Maker Faire for several years, Fredonia Mini Maker Faire for several years, the Wellsville School Maker Faire, the FLX Maker Expo, and Barns and Noble Maker Faire. This year I'll be at the Twin Tiers Maker Expo, Buffalo Mini Maker Faire, Fredonia Mini Maker Faire, and I am going to be a co-chair person with the Rochester Mini Maker Faire this. I have also been selected to be the guest speaker at the Rochester Science Museum's STEM Awards Dinner when they have the event in the fall. I've learned a lot by just doing this. I had my first booth when I was just 8 at the Rochester Science Museum, and years later I still love having a booth and going to events.

I've Been Really Busy


      Sorry that it has been a while since I've posted.  I have been busy with different events, and just ended up making videos, but not posting them. Right below this text is a picture from the science fair that was at my school. 

      The project I did was how does acetone effect ABS 3D print. As you can see in the photo I did bring the 3D printer to the fair mainly to have a representation of the melting, and cooling of ABS. For this experiment I got the first place medal for the engineering division.



my science faire project - 3D printer versus acetone


      I also had to prepare a booth for the Buffalo Science Museum Women in Science Day that took place in February.  The three photos below are of me at my booth at this event.

I've got a couple of events coming up in April and May that I'll be having a both at as well.  I'll get more videos posted soon.

Bye

Happy New Year - What I've been up to.




Sorry for the delay in popsting.  We've been so busy this past month that it took a while after we shot the video to finish it and get it uploaded.  We've got more videos on the way with a review of Mechano MAX coming up soon, a look at the Microduino Itty Bitty City, and later a look at the PinBox 3000.
