This week on Maker Update, making tea with a robot, walking through radio waves, an Excitebike shed, fiber optic wings, and 3D printed googly eyes.

On this blog, I get the chance to explore my love of how people create and invent using new technology. In many ways, Children’s Fairyland in Oakland, California runs completely against the theme of this blog. It is one of the earliest theme parks in the United States, seemingly frozen in time for generations, and what little technology it has is about as analog as it gets.

This week on Maker Update: Everything is awesome with this 3d printed lamp, over 2000 guides, a Xenomorph Candy Bucket, a creepy beating heart, mobile coding, keychords, IoT security and crazy cartoon eyes.
