I’ve finally decided on this year’s theme for a Scratch Day event – Plastic Steampunk!<\/p>\n
Steampunk is a genre of Victorian-style science fiction. So, microcontrollers and 3D printing pens might not seem to be ideal companions to it.<\/p>\n

My plan is to document our ideas on this blog – build some stuff before, during and after Scratch Day. Then, provided all goes well; exhibit our work at the Prague International Robotics Festival and the Budapest Scratch Conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
