I had the pleasure of attending the 2011 Maker Faire event in Newcastle over the weekend. It was a real geek-fest – with all sorts of mad inventions and sciency-crafty-creativity on show.

Alistair demos his Metro Simulation
Alistair was demonstrating his Newcastle Metro Simulator, and I gave him a hand minding the stand while he had a look around. It was great fun, and I really hope they can find sufficient funding to put on another event in 2012. If so, I’ll be back!
Here are a selection of my images from the two-day event:
