The Full Contact Engineering initiative (FCE) is dedicated to inspiring Makers from all walks of life through engaging community-focused exhibits at major events. We showcase interactive, educational projects developed over years of hands-on engineering. To date, FCE has been featured at Open Sauce 2024, Maker Faire Bay Area 2024, where it earned the Editor’s Choice Award, OpenSauce 2025, and MFBA 2025. These events have introduced thousands of people worldwide to accessible innovation.

The term "Full Contact" comes from the super hands-on and involved process that goes into the various projects at the booth. From artistic visuals with neopixel leds, to 15lb steel combat robots, the FCE booth embodies the idea of hands-on, or full-contact engineering. 

The Full contact Engineering booth allows guests of events to explore and learn many things from my projects, while also interacting with them in new and fun ways. Hundreds of people got to try out the LED Guitar during OpenSauce 2024, and found it fun and engaging.

At OpenSauce 2025, over 50 people had portraits drawn by PenBot!
