Open MAKE: interview with Adrian Freed and Grace Kim
As promised, here is the interview that Dale Dougherty hosted with Adrian Freed and Grace Kim, at last month’s Open MAKE event. Enjoy!
Open MAKE: wearables and soft circuitry!
The second Open MAKE event went off Saturday February 27th. This time the theme was wearables and soft circuitry, and we hosted works by the High/Low Technology group from MIT, Grace Kim, Adrian Freed, Becky Stern, and Emma Ferguson.
We invited the Young Makers group first, and the public at large later, to experiment with us using conductive thread, LEDs, sewable batteries, magnetic clasps, and plain good old-fashioned embroidery to create digital wearable jewelry and garments.
Take a look at some of the photos from the event, and stay tuned for a fascinating interview with Adrian Freed and Grace Kim!
Open Make: Circuits!
We are proud to report that our first Open MAKE event happened last Saturday in our new space on the Exploratorium’s floor, which we call The Studio.
First, we hosted the Young Makers participants in The Studio, and with the help of this month’s featured makers Ken Murphy, and Windell and Lenore, we made Blinkybugs and Bristlebots.
Then the featured makers were interviewed by Dale Dougherty, Editor of Make Magazine to a full auditorium, and took some interesting questions from the public.
Finally, we opened our space, for the first time, to the public, offering both BlinkyBugs and BristleBots making activities, as well as thematically hand-picked exhibits to play with. The Studio was full, bustling, and great fun!
