Farewell Tocky!



From Left: Emilio, Tocky, KatyPie and Kit.

Since almost the beginning of our project, Tocky has been a major part of our team. Recently Tocky was given an opportunity to pursue his creative dreams in London. So from Emilio, Kit and I, congratulations Tocky and thank you for all of your contributions to the project. We have all greatly enjoyed working with you.

Tocky is a part of the bio engineering lab at the University of Auckland. He was very helpful to me and I am super thankful for all the lessons in learning to use the technology and materials.

Tocky you will be missed by all of us and we hope to make you proud with our final results next year. Good luck with all of your endeavours and we hope to see your amazing work on the world stage soon.

A visit from Maori TV

Kia ora friends.
In January we had visitors from the production company, Adrenalin Group, come to see us at the bio-lab. They had heard on the grapevine about our project and wanted to interview the team to see exactly what we're up to. Last Friday on Maori TV, the show aired. Click here to see the episode:

Our item is 16 minutes into the show. Enjoy.

Also click here to check out the bio-engineering team who were also interviewed and were featured on the show some months earlier.
Both episodes are a good watch and very interesting.

As an update on the project, I am drawing away and we're having some tools designed and built so we can create the magic. So nothing too artistic to show as yet but it's not too far away.

Happy watching. Yay for Maori TV.
