Hi I'm Jack!

This website I coded myself thanks to the skills I learned at Kidoyo. I will use this website to review places I've been and share my bucket list for places I want to go. I'm also going to tell you things I find interesting, funny and definitely things I find weird. Let's get to it!

As I sit here in my bathing suit, waiting to go to the beach I'm reminded that in 3 weeks I'll be sitting here in my school clothes waiting to go to school. Looking back on my summer I remember how it started. My summer started at Long Island Maker Festival. Long Island Maker Festival was awesome! There was this adorable robot who followed my face, I made a substance that is somewhere between a solid and a liquid, and a group of students from Stony Brook University made ice cream from liquid nitrogen! And that's not all! It made me really excited for World Maker Fair this September! Maker Fair is a fair about inventions, creativity and S.T.E.M. One thing you can expect to see there is dancing robots. The Long Island Maker Festival was in Port Jefferson and so is where I'm going to go tomorrow, the Port Jefferson Teen Center. Stay tuned for all the cool programs they do there.

Have you ever been bored and have nothing to do? You tried video games but you already beat the game. You have no good books to read. How about signing up at the Port Jefferson Teen Center! You have to be 11 or older to sign up though. The Teen Center is half bookstore, half library! They have really cool programs there. Today I did superhero charms and in the past I did... Robotics, Creative Dramatics, Superhero Shields, Superhero Skits, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Stop Motion Movies, Superhero Drawing, Hour of Code and the Super Smash Bros. Tournament. All these programs were super fun because the instructors and librarians are extremely nice, the room is awesome and the programs are about cool things.

Remember my other review that mentioned Maker Faire? Maker Faire will take place in the NY Hall of Science. Wait a minute, Brickfest took place there! Brickfest was a Lego festival. It was absolutely incredible! There was so many fun things to do! You could race your own Lego cars on elevated tracks with timers, play 4 different Lego videogames on 8 consoles and you could build on a wall that was covered in Lego studs and let your imagination loose. They had a huge tub of red 2 by 4s to build with! Some brave adults walked across it barefoot. See the picture in my logo to see how big it was. You could add your own Lego build to a magnificent Lego city that looked as good as the one from the Lego Movie! I built a replica of my phone and put on top of a building. And you could help build a Lego mosaic! You would build on a plate and the workers would add it to a wall. And sooooooooooooooooooo much more If you want to check out when Brickfest comes to a town near you, go to the Brickfest website.

Do you like giant fire breathing robots, drones racing in figure eights and making your own pinewood derby cars? Then you should go to World Maker Faire when they come near you. Mine was at the NY Hall of Science. You should go because it's good for your kids. Kids can make pins out of comic books, build Legos and play Roblox and Minecraft. There's also tons of 3D printer booths showing you their 3D prints. I saw a huge 3D printed face sculpture of Edgar Allan Poe and a prosthetic hand that was also 3D printed. My favorite things were a giant fire breathing robot, a Nickelodeon booth that allows you to draw an avatar to their video game and the Lego Mindstorms booth. If you do decide to go to World Maker Faire save up your money for the Maker Shed, where everything from dancing robots to useless machines is being sold.
