Dominic & Gillian (@ddiasco) explore the last UK Maker Faire in April 2018. They start outside on Times Square. They chat with Dave of Rowan Wood Carving before heading inside to chat with a couple of makers.

This bonus episode was recorded in April 2018, at the time we did not know that this was to be the last UK Maker Faire (though please don't be confused there are OTHER UK based Maker Faire's they're just not called the UK Maker Faire).

I managed to chat with Ruth Amos, an inventor and engineer who is the star of YouTubes "Kids Invent Stuff" and an initiative to help build confidence for kids and especially girls to be more at ease with using tools.

In this episode Dominic talks to Lucy Rogers better known as Dr-Lucy-Rogers usually said in one breath. She is a fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Lucy is known for being a strong presence in the maker scene and for her work in broadcasting. She was a judge on the last 3 series of BBC Robot Wars. Recently she embarked on the founding of a guild, the Guild of Makers, an organisation that supports the growth of the industry related to makers and providing them with support and opportunities to build a community together.

They met at the Pi Wars event at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory on a sunny Saturday in late April 2018. The 2019 event has already been confirmed and you can get dates and more info by joining their mailing list. The event was very well attended, with teams of makers of all ages as well as school children running their Raspberry Pi brained robots around a series of 7 challenges. It's with great thanks to organisers Mike Horne & Tim Richardson (and their sponsors) for putting on the event and allowing us access as press (got our own room and everything).
