Following two hugely successful shows last year and the year before, the NTU Year 2 Design & Technology Education students had kindly invited us to attend this year’s End of Year Show.

With our Solar Powered Buggy, learning how to harness the sun’s energy to produce power is fun and hands-on. We have also extended our LilyPad range for those of you that are into E-Textiles (and music…)!

Our range of speakers is extending and now includes a small Surface Transducer, Subminiature High Power Speakers and Round/Square Mylar Cone Speakers.

At the UK Maker Faire 2014, LoveScience had several activities that families and young makers could get involved with, such as adding LEDs to animal and robot card templates using Electric Paint, painting your own ‘scratch and sniff card’, and learning how thermocratic paint works.

Our new products this week include Heating Pads, Jumper Leads in packs of 40, and Alkaline Batteries at an economical price.

For us, like so many others, Maker Fun was a definite Maker Faire highlight; the combination of craft and technology was deeply inspiring and it was clear that the mini makers were hugely engaged!

Our range of fun, educational kits is extending and now includes the WeevilEye, a Binary Blaster Kit, and a H2OhNo! ATtiny Dev Board / Water Alarm.

We were blown away by the work that York Hackspace had put into their SpaceHack Game, which they exhibited at the UK Maker Faire in Newcastle, April 2014. Find out more here!

Our new products this week include a 5V 2.5A Mains Wall Power Supply with UK, EU, US and AU Adaptors, a 9V PP3 Battery Clip Lead to 2.1mm DC Connector, a Resistor Kit and a Beginner Parts Kit.

Design & Make the Future 2014 was run by Teach Design and took place on Saturday 10th May at the National STEM Centre in York. The day was packed with a combination of keynotes, workshops, networking and exhibitions.
