Bubble Bird House at the Picnic
We are delighted to be invited to this year’s Electric Picnic, taking place this weekend. The new and improved Bubble Bird House will be spreading bubbles all over the Midfield area.
Since the Dublin Mini Maker Faire, we have replaced the fans of the bird house with new more powerful ones. This should help the bubbles blow even further around the site. It turns out that bubble mixture and motors don’t mix . We had to replace all the motors due to corrosion. But never mind all that, with all the replacement parts now in place version 2.6 is better than ever.
To find us, look for the Science Gallery tent ( our hosts) in the Mindfield area. Map Here
