Hey! You may have seen my #electronics videos on Hackster.io - or various #robots, including my shoulder owl Archimedes & other #CompanionBots; my Ouija #ESP8266 planchette PCB; or the Companion Core...

Or seen me in Make:, Hackaday, HackSpace mag, the Adafruit blog, TWiT, Recomendo, etc.

As I make new project threads, I'll link them below :D

Had to post for International #WomenInRobotics day (https://www.womeninrobotics.org/wir-day/2024), but I'll keep updating with progress reports – and inspiration from others :D

Love meeting up with my #CompanionBots compatriots at events – including @gella, @geekmomprojects, and Anouk Wipprecht (the Spider Dress totally counts!) 🫶🏻
