Dear fellow makers, hackers, technology lovers of all sorts, we're over 250% funded and only 7 days have passed since the start of the campaign! This wouldn't be possible without your awesome support! Therefore, we're all sending you a big THANK YOU and an imaginary high five..... *high five*
Yet, there are still 17 more days to go and we'll make MAKERbuino even more popular and even better!
Here's a quick update about what we've been doing and what happened lately:
- we've started ordering parts and producing early bird kits
-We've got featured on Mashable!

-Today we visited an Arduino day celebration festival in Zagreb, the capital city of our homeland - Croatia.
The festival was held at a coworking space and an innovation and creativity center called HUB385.
There we've exhibited MAKERbuino and talked with quite a few fans that just stopped by to root for MAKERbuino and give us a high five.
