You can find out how to do almost anything on Instructables – that’s the whole idea – people who know how to do stuff, showing other people how to do it.

What I hadn’t noticed before is that they set challenges and the current one is all about tiny. And I mean teeny tiny.

Anyone can enter, but you’d have to be quick as this challenge ends 30 March 2020. But the main reason I put this here is for you to go and look as some of the things submitted. They are just amazing.

This robot was submitted by civil engineer Dobataloud and is sculpted from the tip of a pencil. Can you believe that? I am truly in awe.
