This book is amazing. The photography is exceptional in the details that are revealed.

These were inspired by a photo I saw from (you guessed it) a #Goose #Goosemas concert.

Working on a new process for making multiple #plotter drawings on a single page to optimize color/pen changes.

These are for #ptpx 2024

Glad you like them. It was a fun project. Let me know if you have any questions about order of operations/process. I’m happy to discuss how we went about making these.

I’ve explored using Oramask with my #makered students to selectively mask / reveal various details of a laser cut spray painted project.

This skateboard hanger hangs via French Cleat and includes embedded lever switches to sense when a skateboard is placed in the hanger and lights up two strips of LEDs controlled by the micro:bit.

While that prompt may seem simultaneously vague and specific (it is), this was the framework I decided to explore with my students this semester.

Whenever possible, I try to complete a project in parallel to the projects that my students are working on.

The main assignment for my Fall 2024 Inventing with Technology #makerEd course is for students to prototype a project that solves a problem using some of the features of a micro:bit microcontroller and mounts to the project's intended location via French cleat.
