Do you remember Apple’s iPhone app Talking Tom Cat? The precocious pet was an interactive companion for the digital age. In our August MakerLAB, we will make a real-life version of a “Tom Cat” with the help of robotics expert Nille. Participants will assemble their own pets and have the chance to make a short stop-motion film with their new robotic friends.
