They may do things BIG in Texas, but let’s show the world that we do things that are AWESOME in London! On September 26th, help the MakerBus team (Canada’s first mobile makerspace) to break the World Record for the Longest Human Circuit, a record currently held in The Woodlands, Texas.

The current World Record is set at 1,113 people. Our goal is to bring together 2000 Londoners to create a human chain that will allow a small current to set off a buzzer. Every single person who helps us break this World Record will be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records and will be eligible to receive a World Record certificate.

Registration starts at 10 am. Look for the big blue MakerBus at Dundas/Ridout and volunteers will direct you to registration.

Save time waiting in line and register in advance here. Tell a friend (or 2000) about our event using this Facebook event.

All people who join our record will be eligible to receive a World Record certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records!

Once you've helped London break a World Record, why not go out a celebrate at Doors Open/Culture Days - London's Largest celebration of arts, heritage, and culture.

We're excited to be an official Doors Open/Culture Days event and encourage everyone to get out and explore this culture-filled city! Learn more on londonculture.ca
