Ep04 The Maker Hub Meets - John Hanley from Tekrapod Fab Lab Maker Hub Podcast

In the fourth episode of the Maker Hub Podcast we talk to Inventor and Triathlete John Hanley who turned his love for open water swimming into a successful Kickstarter campaign with his unique water safety backpack called Tekrapod.

John's love of invention and problem solving took him from go-karts in the garage to a career in civil engineering and after a rugby injury forced him to reevaluate his sporting life, he found a new passion in competitive Triathlons.

An engineer and maker at heart, he dived into 3D CAD and 3D Printing to produce the prototypes for his Tekrapod invention after attending a Fab Lab workshop on building 3D printers.
