Scott Weaver's amazing piece, made with over 100,000 toothpicks over the course of 35 years, is a depiction of San Francisco, with multiple ball runs that allow you to go on "tours" of different parts of the city. It will be on display in the Tinkering Studio until the end of June!

For his honours project in Product Design at the University of Dundee Adam Huntington created the Elymas Table that features a knob with four categories and button that upon pressing prints out a prophecy. Now you don’t need to order Chinese food to get a fortune.
