So, I pretty much went and walked around the MAKLab today just to see how it is.
It's great! I thought its gonna be more serious and proper but the atmosphere is really friendly. I loved how open the people were and they just keep asking question "what are you doing" so it was really fun.
I also have a change to play with the littlebits for the first time and as I expected. It is really easy! However, I think it suitable for a discovery tools rather than a tools to help you get what you want. It can do lots of things but its rather limited. once the component is separated it is almost impossible to regain control and knowing what's going on since it is all analog. But its a good and its really fun. The kids loved it too!

The guy below made a car that can drive side way. Basically he made a special set of wheels!
Here is Aziz Rasool.

Aziz is looking to develop a way to inspire and educate communities with the art and science of making digital products, tuned up for local self-service needs.
He is very interesting as he planning to make the things that he's doing more accessible to the 'low-tech savvy' people
