Finding Your Creative Niche
We are excited to announce that the schedule for Penguicon 2017 is finalized and ready to go! Check it out at http://schedule.penguicon.org/!
The DIY Track is focused on doing things yourself. Whether it be a new craft or odd jobs around the home or even running your own business, DIY wants to help you learn. Our panels will give people an opportunity to pick up new tools to use in their daily lives, a new hobby, or even an interest in a new branch of creativity.
This year, attendees will be breaking out their time turners as they attend panels in both the Fiber and Craft labs.
Panels like:
Homemade Ghostbusters PKE Meter on Raspberry Pi 2 —http://sched.co/A25s
Frankenstuffies (this is a return of a popular panel last year) — http://sched.co/A25p
Muscle Testing: Human Lie Detection and More — http://sched.co/A25u
How to Change a Tire — http://sched.co/A25y
An Experiment in Collaborative Art…with math n stuff — http://sched.co/APCa
