Origami Robotics and its MEmote Robot Project will be appearing at the Pittsburgh Mini Maker Faire this Sunday, October 23.

The Mini Maker Faire is an event dedicated to do-it-yourself technology, a meeting of tinkerers, builders, and inventors. According to the website, the fair will feature “crafts, engineering, music, robots, workshop digital fabrication, energy, demonstrations, performances, projects and lots of surprises from 70 regional makers and maker organizations.” Attendees can learn new skills, such as soldering or wool spinning, or see demonstrations of exciting homemade products, and it’s a great way for kids and people new to the “maker” movement to learn what it’s all about.

Origami Robotics is a big fan of the maker movement, and as we move forward with the MEmote project, we hope to engage this community of enthusiastic builders and tinkerers to help us get MEmote out into the world, so that it can help as many children with disabilities and autism spectrum disorders as possible. If you’re interested, come out to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh this Sunday and meet us!
