As usual DoES Liverpool will be running Maker Night tomorrow at the LJMU Art and Design Academy.  So come along to work on your own projects, or just to see what is going on in general be it playing with digital fabrication, hacking electronics, construction art exhibits and just general creative geekery.

We'll be running the usual introduction sessions and hands on guidance for first timers who want to try their hands at the Arduino kit (please bring a laptop if you can).  

We will be there from 6:30pm for a 7:00pm start, finishing around 9:00pm before we move onto a local pub to wrap up the night.
