Great roundup!👏 Thanks for sharing my NeoPixel video - I hope more people discover how fun it is to program LEDS!✨

"Any project will be improved with the addition of Neopixels," says just about any maker anywhere. Great show!

Thanks Donald, great job as always. I can't imagine flying internationally with all the crap I would need to show at a Maker Faire

That is a challenge, but it's an engineering and logistics problem that can be solved. Last time I did one I took just one project, my RC tricycle, and found a way to break it down into a suitcase (along with my clothes!). I had to source my own Lipo batteries when I landed, but that was sort of a fun challenge too. Bottom line -- you'd don't need to bring everything! Maybe there's just one, crowd-pleaser project you can take over and show off.
