Makers 46 Bottle
More booze from Mephit Furmeet. ;-) I am told that this is very good. I do not know,because I really do not drink alcohol.
Thanks anyway! The thought is greatly appreciated, and someone is going to love this after it ages a few more decades.
Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

An event to celebrate crafts, engineering, science projects, etc. For and by all ages.All of these “makers” come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned. Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.
We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. This collar is hidden in the pocket that is made out of a crocheted tablecloth.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk
Our third Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on Thursdays, from June 16 to 30, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with an enthusiastic group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by giving students an overview of how circuits work. We then learned how to use a multimeter, how to solder electronics, and how to control rainbow-colored NeoPixel lights.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

AUSTIN, TEXAS - MAY 6, 2016: Behind the scenes at Maker Faire Austin 2016 at the Palmer Events Center.
Maker: W.I. Lincoln Adams (1865-1946)
Born: USA
Active: USA
Medium: periodical
Size: 9" x 11 3/4"

Object No. 2016.837
Shelf: PER-1890
Publication: The Photographic Times, Vol XX, 1890

Provenance:
Notes: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES was first published in 1871 as a supplement of THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER. It absorbed THE AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER in 1879 to become THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES AND AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER. In 1902, it merged with ANTHONY'S BULLETIN to form THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES BULLETIN. Initially, this journal was geared to the professional photographer as would be expected, since it was published by the Scovil Manufacturing Co.; the articles mirrored their concerns. Reviews and reports from photographic societies were a regular feature. First edited by Edward Wilson, the editorship transferred to John Thraill Taylor, who enlarged the scope in 1880, when it became THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES AND AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER.(Source: Andrew Cahan Bookseller)

A productive afternoon making art together at Pataphysical Studios.
Doctors Canard and Rindbrain completed an illuminated painting that is constantly changing, as the light box around it cycles through the colors of the rainbow. This creates an ethereal experience, as the brush strokes quietly shimmer and transform, to the sound of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports (see video: vimeo.com/151282015 ). Nicely done, doctors!
Our visitors this week were Michael Easton and his son Kyan, who seemed to enjoy themselves. A friend of Dr. Figurine’s, Michael is quite an accomplished artist, inventor and engineer and showed us some of his cool creations, including magical mushroom lights inspired by this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5LjGFkpApw
Doctor Fabio showed a Chinese New Year wonderbox prototype he is building for his upcoming maker workshops (bit.ly/wonderbox-overview ). Doctors Really and Igor worked on bringing sound to more wonderboxes. Dr. Rindbrain showed his new Universe cards about Mamie. Dr. Figurine worked on a Neopixel badge for her lab coat. Doctor Zboon showed some of his new pataphysical talismans. A fine time was had by all.

These are the final decals for the Maker Faire this weekend. Think the metallic cyan ink really set off the tile. Come out and learn how to apply the decals!
Each week, I teach a maker art class for lower school children at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students are now making a Chinese New Year Wonderbox, with a paper lantern and an animal from the zodiac: they are combining art and technology to bring their wonderbox come alive. This week, we made a button to light up their lantern. We discussed how electricity flows through circuits, showed a prototype wonderbox, then asked kids to create their own circuit, with a switch to turn lights on and off.
To make the switch, our young makers had to go through a series of precise steps: fold a small piece of cardboard, glue aluminum foil at each end, wire the top foil to the lantern's LED, tape the bottom foil to a coin cell battery, and connect the battery’s positive end to the LED'S longest leg. Students spent about 30 to 45 minutes building their switch, through a healthy process of trial and error. When they were done, they went back to decorating their boxes, which they seem to really enjoy.
Next week, children will start working on their animal characters, based on the Chinese Zodiac. They will add LEDs for the eyes and make them move with a motor. The following week, they will decorate their animals and install them in their boxes. You can follow our progress in this private album, which is only available to parents, children and staff involved in this class.
This creative Wonderbox framework seems like a great way to introduce basic principles of electricity and circuits to school children, in a playful way that makes science more fun. The children are responding well to this hands-on, project-based activity: they seem engaged by the freedom to create their own interactive art, which is music to my ears.
I’d like to thank the great team supporting this educational project. Everyone at the Lycée Français has been wonderful to work with, from the extracurricular activities team to the campus staff. Many thanks as well to Tara Tiger Brown at Kithub, who gets us great learning kits for our students and delivers them quickly, at the right price. Cynthia Gilbert is a wonderful partner in the classroom, and my wife Phyllis has assembled some beautiful art supplies for this class. Jean Bolte, her daughter Natalina, Howard Rheingold and other members of ‘Pataphysical Studios have also been very generous collaborators. And I’m grateful to Geo Monley for hosting us at the Tam High makerspace. All of your guidance in developing the Wonderbox program means a lot to me. Merci!
