Make:Shift:Do The UK Crafts Council are once again asking for maker/hack spaces to open their doors to the public and demonstrate their skills. On October 28-29, venues around the UK will hold events where the public can get hands on with technologies, such as 3D printers, CNC machinery and laser cutters. The events are free to attend and vary in scope dependant on the services provided by the venue.

If you are a fan of the Pi, Arduino or robotics then this event is great for getting ideas and gaining knowledge. More details here: https://makerfairederby.com
