Hey Makers, what’s up!? It’s summer and while some people take a break from making, we never stop! Members @thecosplaydad and @koalacosplay attended the World Cosplay Summit recently, and while they did not get selected to go to Japan, they had an awesome time out in California. (They’ll also be at Maker Faire Milwaukee if you want to see them in person!)

Ed’s wife needed a desk, and Ed loves making things, so he made he this awesome desk! Hey Ed, it kinds of looks like a bowling alley. Does your wife like bowling? (Just kidding! Reclaimed wood from bowling alleys is awesome!)

Whoa, what is this? Some sort of Digital Art!? Yes it is! Billy is our new Area Champion for the Digital Production Area. What’s that now? It’s where you can make digital things! We’ll have a few higher-end computers with specialized software as well as some AR & VR equipment you can use. We’re looking forward to seeing what members come up with.

Markus made a thing, and awesome thing. It’s a thing to hold the new AED we got. An AED is an Automated External Defibrillator and can be used to save someone’s life. We love our members (and guests) and if a life or death situation arises where an AED could save someone, we want to be able to do that. Live to maker another day!
