We’re creating a Haunted House with lower-school students in our Maker Art class at the Lycée Français this fall.
In this after-school workshop, students are building a fantasy world together, with magical creatures, ghosts, witches and other animated characters inspired by Halloween.
We are combining arts and technology to bring their creations to life: each student will have their own room in our haunted house, and they will learn to build simple robots with motors and Arduino, then play with lights and sounds to tell their stories for our ‘show and tell’.
For our sixth class, we invited students to design special attractions for their Haunted House in small teams: a graveyard, a spooky elevator and an old clock tower. Children also put the finishing touches on their individual ‘wonderbox’ rooms.
My associate Sarah Brewer and I are teaching this class to students in grades 4 and 5 at the Lycée Français in Sausalito, every Thursday at 3:30pm, from September 15 to December 15, 2016.

More Maker Faire Orlando setup photos. Many of these were taken as potential source material for my "Micro Maker Faire" layout. This is a sampling of what I have - let me know if you want more setup photos of your exhibit or if I should pull something that's here.

This is made of two steel plate facing each other with nails welded to each side. Children drop small stones into this and they bounce off the nails as they fall, making surprisingly beautiful sounds. There is a "guard" row of small bars surrounding it to keep larger objects from falling in and getting stuck.
They sent me a package. Inside was some red wax and a maker's mark seal. Now I can profess my alcoholism on all correspondence.

JOY
Our friends at the Frontroom in Cambridge are curating the Designers/Makers market in Hackney, London for the summer and they asked us to get involved. We are taking care of the first two weekends and followed by some great others.
For our part we set up our temporary 'Fresh Ones' painting studio and made some spontaneous paintings.
This is book five for the year so far.
From the back of the book:
A major new international voice debuts with a sweeping story of love, friendship, and family ties that brings to life the turbulent world of modern Pakistan. The unforgettable story of a fatherless boy growing up in a household of outspoken women, The Wish Maker is also a tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and indestructible friendship. Zaki Shirazi and his female cousin Samar Api were raised to consider themselves "part of the same litter." Together they watched American television and memorized dialogue from Bollywood movies, attended dangerous protests, and formed secret friendships. In a household run by Zaki's crusading political journalist mother and iron-willed grandmother, it was impossible to imagine a future that could hold anything different for either of them. But adolescence approaches and the cousins' fates diverge. Samar's unconventional behavior - in which Zaki has played the rold of devoted helper - brings severe consequences for her, while Zaki is sent out to discover the world for himself. It is only after years of separation from Samar that he is forced to confront the true nature of happiness, selfhood, and commitment to those he loves most. Chronicling world-changing events that have never been so intimately observed in fiction and brimming with unmistakable warmth and humor, The Wish Maker is the powerful account of a family and an era, a story that shows how, even in the most rapidly shifting circumstances, there are bonds that survive the tugs of convention, time, and history.
Okay, this book took me months to read. It just didn't capture my attention. I was glad it was done. :)
