Visuino at Maker Faire LA 2026 (And a very special Visitor! ;-) )

Yesterday, I was presenting Visuino at the Maker Faire LA 2026. The event was organized together with the City of Stem,  and hosted at the Los Angeles Exposition Park :-)

My good booth neighbor was Michael Wernecke with his cool, fully functional Scratch-built 5-Foot Radio-Controlled Submarine!


It was a huge event with over 30000 visitors, and it was extremely exhausting. I barely found time to snap a few pictures between the visitors, and here are some of them:

The Robots prepared for the journey to the Maker Faire:

Me at the booth in the morning, still unpacking the robots:

The booth is ready for the first visitors:

The booth with my good neighbour Michael Wernecke, and his cool Submarines and other models:

The "Imagination Stage", where at 3:30PM I showed off what Visuino can do, and the audience had the chance to drive some of my robots :-)

Everyone is rushing to set up the booths in the morning:



Vivienne Byrd from the Los Angeles Public Library came to visit me at the booth:

And a surprise visitor!!! :-)
No other than the Maker Queen Xyla Foxlin herself!!!

The first visitors appearing:


My presentation was the usual mess, improvised as always, but this time I did it fully interactive, having the crowd play with my robots from the biggest Kuman WiFi all the way to my smallest BugC:


And sadly at the end of the day, it was time to pack and prepare to head back home:

All the robots and toys are packed and ready for the trip back:


Altogether, it was another fantastic event, and I really enjoyed it! 
Although it was my 3rd Maker Faire LA, it was a very busy and tiring event, and I was exhausted at the end, but no price was high enough for the chance to meet in person Xyla Foxlin herself :-)
Looking forward to attending more fun events in the future and presenting Visuino, my robots, and toys to the excited crowd!
