Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Liverpool Makefest is this Saturday! DoES Liverpool will be taking part as usual so please get in touch if you want to display your stuff on our stand or want to help out (Github issue here that you can add your details to).
