Whether you like making robots, tea cozies, gadgets or jewelry, Las Vegas has groups where you can indulge your creative tinkering. LV Bots started about a decade ago in the workshops at Pololu Robotics and Electronics. And now the Syn Shop has a hackerspace downtown. We'll take with a few makers about what they do and why they do it, and how their movement can change the world.

GUESTS

Ryan Mulligan, LVBots

Susan Hinton, Syn Shop
