This weekend is Maker Faire and Cyenobite suggested a Maker Faire challenge. You don’t have to be here to do these challenges although if you’re in the San Francisco area, how can you resist! (Disclosure: I work for Make: Magazine.)

Cyenobite says:

Hey yeah! How many photogamers are going to the maker faire? I’ll be there too (Sunday only). We should all wear a red rose or something Challenge ideas? 1) A Robot 2) Something with an LED 3) A plushie (or soft handcrafted animal). 4) a concession that you ate 5) Bonus: Something you made
(These could also be completed by those photogamers not able to make it to the maker faire)

Game on! If your not at the faire and can’t get concession food, then get some junk food or take out from somewhere!

Post your photos to the photogamer flickr group. If you get all five, post them to the winner’s circle and if you’re at Maker Faire, come find me and introduce yourself as a photogamer!

This weeks photogamer challenge went really great. - Link

I’m playing with this!

Score 1 for programming, score 0 for video games.

It teaches you how to mess around with Ruby. - Link

I am sooooo psyched about this challenge! It’s easy and cool!

This week’s challenge is to choose a section of a drawing from this set and copy it as a photograph. When it’s done, we’ll find a way to put it back together!

When you choose your section, leave a comment saying that you chose it (so no one else picks it). Then copy it as a photograph and upload using the same title to flickr.com/groups/photogamer and when we have them all copied, we’ll put them back together. It’s a collaborative collage!

Note: Female drawing coming soon! Update: got it! - Link
