The Austin Planetarium Discovery Dome is a portable planetarium that we take to schools and events in the central Texas area. Inside the dome is an immersive, digital learning experience to encourage children’s interest in science and that complements the school’s curriculum. We have both interactive star presentations and full-dome planetarium videos for ages preschool through high school and adult, covering topics such as constellations, solar system, space exploration, and biology. Everyone at the Maker Faire is welcome to enter the Dome and discover the universe for themselves! We also will have a summer Astro Camp for children ages 6-12 – one session is “Astronauts, Rockets and Rovers” and 2 sessions are “Planets, Stars, and Telescopes.”
Whether you’re a seasoned papercrafter or have never before made a card, please join us. We’ll provide card-making supplies (and design assistance if needed), and we’ll send all the handmade cards to Operation Write Home – they’ll send the cards overseas so our troops can use them to stay in touch with loved ones back home. What a great way to show support for our men and women overseas!
It’s the Multipurpose Reprocessing Distillation Concentrator (MRDC). Now Flimflam Laboratories will enter the world of biochemically manipulated food, beverage, and health care products big time! There are endless uses for this device as it can easily be adapted by adding many of the accessories soon to be available. Right now we are getting close to recreating “The Spice” in a synthesized form. And a new kind of house paint that is truly one coat! And a facial cream that literally dissolves blemishes and wrinkles! More great products to follow!!!
We specialize in delighting children of all ages – everyone and anyone that we can get involved – with a variety of interactive, hands-on entertainment.
I had a dream about a guitar that was like no other. So I sketched it out when I woke up and then set about building this guitar. It became the Sciborg Hurricane #1. Since then I’ve been playing this guitar in my band, Sciborg & the Robopimps and have completed 4 more guitars. There are now four different models in the lineup of Sciborg Guitars: Hurricane, Starship, Battle Axe and the Saber Tooth. So the booth will display the most recent guitars along with Sciborg Hurricane #1. There will be guitars on display and guitars that people can play too. We’ll also do a live performance with my Super Funk band: Sciborg & the Robopimps too. We’ll wear our space suits.
