Today in the Smugglers Room we are doing a little Date Night Data Pad Build! Being locked down is no fun, but we have found a way to put together some everyday items in an interesting way and build some DIY Star Wars Laptop Covers for our computers. A super fun and easy project you can do with minimal tools and materials.
