This month's muffin

Every issue we spotlight one of our own — a reader, writer or maker doing something rad. Meet this month's muffin.

Mara learned to weld off YouTube and now builds bike trailers out of scrap metal she finds at the recycling centre. She's working on a cargo bike that can haul her little brother and a week of groceries — and she keeps a sketchbook of every failed prototype, because she reckons the fails teach you more than the wins.

"Homeschool means I get to spend a whole Tuesday on one weld until it's right. Nobody tells me to pack up and move to the next class."

She's writing up her trailer build for Issue 8, sparks and all.
