Though still needing a few tweaks and tidy here and there, this is pretty much the finished model! Really chuffed with how it has all come out! Had this all working and ready (just) in time for a PR afternoon at Dundee Science Centre on Monday. I was literally putting on the final touches as a reporter and a massive camera came into the workshop. Turns out they were from STV which was pretty nerve racking! A photographer for local papers, The Courier and The Press and Journal, was also there taking snaps of me and some kids with DON-8r. Here’s what came from that - A nice big photo in The Courier and a wee article in the Press and Journal.
Pretty great! Although I found out this morning that STV had to “squeeze” the interview out of their telly broadcast, which is a bit disappointing but I am chasing them up to see if the video can exist elsewhere on the internet! Still, a great start for the TALK stage of my final year project.
Thanks to Dave Martin from Fotopress for taking the photos and passing them on to the paper and to STV for coming down, interviewing DON-8r and me and making me feel really nervous (in a good way!).
