Creativity was on display Saturday, May 16, at the Sallal Grange in North Bend. The first ever DIY and Hackers Showcase brought out 11 exhibitors.

“We had a great time and met many creative locals,” said organizer Brandon Comouche.

Displays included three-dimensional printers, homemade electronics, a Minecraft photo booth, a Star Trek-style spaceship simulation, an in-car integrated computer, custom computer building, a learn-to-solder station and simple blacksmithing.

The event was a collaboration of the Nerds With Real Lives Guild, which plans to host such events at least annually. For more information, visit the event website, http://nwrlguild.com/event/diy201505.
