Bah humbug to shopping craziness.

Bah humbug to miserable weather.

Bah humbug to all things Christmas.

OK, that last sentence is a bit harsh, but given “Christmas” started so early (early last month) it’s not surprising that some of us are feeling the fatigue already. And there’s still two weeks to Christmas!

Well, the good folks at Science Gallery have came up with some fun stuff for 12 Days of Workshops, running from 5 December to 19 December, where you can make some fun stuff and turn them into geeky cool presents. :D

There are a couple of long workshops that are free (except 18 December’s Minty Boost, at €5) but all are bookings required, namely:

11.12.08 – DrawBots : Combining a small motor a plastic cup and some markers you can make your very own autonomus drawing machine.

12.12.08 – CarPlanePlough : Using model wood and simple motors and pulleys you can build a CarPlanePlough that you can control and move.

18.12.08 – Minty Boost : Build a small but very powerful USB charger for your iPod or MP3 player or any USB charged gadget.

19.12.08 – Mini Zeppelin : Combining helium, mylar, wood and motors, you can make your own flying machine at this facilitated workshop

Cool, don’t you think? Book for your place now!
