We headed down to a mini-maker faire at the science center of Iowa this weekend. It was full of 3d printers, CNC machines and the like.

Of course, some of the usual exhibits never quite get old!

How about a keyboard made out of carrots?

Or a cheap DIY microscope that uses a cell phone camera for incredible magnification!

There was also a virtual reality trailer from ISU and a virtual welding helmet as well. Oh, and a traveling Tardis and R2D2 as well!
