[Lab] Mini Maker Fair Kids Table

[Josh Svatek]

Can I just mention what a terrific idea this is (both bling and LED)
and so great for getting kids interesting in tinkering?

I've actually only been to one modlab (keep meaning to attend again),
but I'd definitely pitch in another 1/4 of that cost if art engine
can't cover the whole tab.

(Wish I could bring my girls to the mini maker fair, but we're out of town.)
