Facebook and Meetup are used to attract new members

We had a great day exhibiting at Creat-A-Con hosted at De Montfort University by their students. Our augmented reality sandbox was clearly the most successful attraction of the day and thoroughly enjoyed by many adults and kids alike. We also had other great stuff to show off: Matt’s 3D printer, a whole section dedicated to Steve’s Raspberry Pi robotics and scratch activities for kids, 3D projections by Isis and Artur. Tony’s Wimshurst machine produced some great sparks and was a source of great fascination to visitors who had never had the chance to learn about static electricity at school. Thanks to those who attended and all those who did the hard work to make it a great success.
