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!

Visuino at Maker Faire LA 2025

 Last Saturday, I was presenting Visuino at the Maker Faire LA 2025. The event was organized together with the City of Stem,  and hosted at the Los Angeles Exposition Park :-)

My good booth neighbors were the fantastic folks from Conejo Valley Makerspace!

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

The Visuino booth:

And here I am at the Visuino booth :-)

This, being my second year at the event, things went smoothly, and my live presentation was successful :-)

Looking forward to attending more fun events in the future and presenting Visuino to the excited crowd!

Visuino at Maker Faire LA 2024

Last Saturday I was presenting Visuino at the Maker Faire LA. The event was organized together with City of Stem and hosted at the Los Angeles State Historic Park :-)

Daniel Sidman also came and joined me at the booth helping me as volunteer, and I am very grateful for his help!

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

Here are some pictures of the Visuino booth:

 

And some of the great neighbors :-)

Travis Hughes and Scarab: the Environmental Data Collection Robot:

Mandel Lum and his super cool "Flip a Table" project! :-)

And some pictures of the crowd! :-)

Altogether, it was a fantastic event, and I really enjoyed it! 

It was the first time I was presenting at a Maker Faire or any event of such huge size, and I made a lot of mistakes in preparing for it, but at the end it went better than I anticipated!

Looking forward to attending more fun events in the near future, and presenting Visuino to the excited crowd!
