All the artists, entrepreneurs, and activists who are asking the questions and making the provocations that we believe will shape the future of culture. At the 2016 YBCA 100 Summit, Nov 5, 2016. The YBCA 100 is an annual compilation of the creative minds, makers, and pioneers that inspire our work at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Each year, our staff convenes to debate: “Who do we believe is asking the questions and making the provocations that will shape the future of American culture?” The result of this inquiry is a diverse list of artists, entrepreneurs, activists, and creative citizens from around the world that have one thing in common: They are all generating culture that moves people.

One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!
Conducted at Fuse19:Exponential, hosted by the Mount Vernon Institute for Innovation in Atlanta, GA in June 2019.

PUNISH THOSE GUllTV OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND COMMUNAL PROVOCATION 1.
Friends, EXPOSE THE RSS-ABVP'S GAME PLAN ! 03.03.2004 .
Bhaskar Yadav, the habitual sexual harasser who has become a menace to the security of our campus .
and its residents, once again tr!ed to ~itiate the campus ~tmosphere last night. Bhaskar, who is already facing investigatin for sexually harassmg a gtrl student and publtcly threatening to commit suicide outside Tapti Hostel .
on Monday night, created a ruckus at Neelgiri Dhaba last night-making derogatory comments about women and .
abusing the GSCASH. At the same time he was distributing a rabidly communal pamphlet in which he declared himself to be a .'Hindu Human Bo.mb'. When the studen~s present at the Dhaba, as well as the Periyar Warden .
tried to pacify htm he turned abustve and started threatemng all those around..
activists who had been present at ~h~ Dhaba JOined Bhaskar Yadav in his communal and provocative .
.
It was at this point that the driving force. ~ehind Bhaskar Yadav's antics became apparent.sloganeering. .
ABVPThat these ABVP act1v1sts had gathered at the Dhaba even before Bhaskar Yadav had begun, clearly shows the pre-planned nature of last night's events. These lumpen elements under the .
leadership of Mukesh Mishra, Ajit Singh, Dhananjay Kumar and others repeatedly tried to provoke awho as also accused m the 10 confr~ntation with the s~udents prt~sent. In ~ m?st shocking incident Ajit Singh, a known communallumpen.

Last night's incidents leave no doubt that Bhaskar Yadav is a mask being used by the RSS-ABVP to foment communal trouble on campus. Faced with repeated defeats and finding the student community firmly .
united against its politics the Sangh Giroh on this campus is now resorting to desperate measures..
desperation has grown even more after seeing the overwhelming response of the student community against the .
attempts to commercialise and saffronise education through the UGC's Model Act and support of the student This.
community for the JNUSU 4's call to ensure the defeat of the RSS-BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. .
The RSS-ABVP is trying to divide the student community on communal lines by any means possible and in Bhaskar Yadav it has found a tool which suits these sinister designs..
The RSS-ABVP's communal gameplan is evident from the extremely vitriolic pamphlets that it has been bringing out. ABVP's pamphlet of yesterday brazenly reiterates Narendra Modi's ' action and reaction' justificationthousands of innocent lives have been lost in Gujarat because of the genocide carried out by the Sangh Giroh .
for the Gujarat carnage. The Godhra killings were universally condemned but that cannot make us forget that.
with the full connivance of the Central and State governments. .
In the pursuit of its fascist agenda the ABVP.
dishonoured gods and goddesses while in fact the only figures whom the play spoke out against were Modi and seems to have deified Modi since in the same pamphlet it claims that the play recently staged by IPTA hadhis ilk. Such are the heights of Goebblesian propaganda.In this context, it is the height of shamelessness that the NSUI -which makes loud claims of being a secular organisation -has chosen to act as the propaganda brigade of the RSS-ABVP by spreading lies about.
demanding the resignation of the JNUSU Vice-President and rustication of two Left activists who were the target .
JNUSU office bearers and activists of the Left. It has equated sexual harassers and those who resist them by.
of the ABVP's attacks last night precisely because they stood up against Bhaskar Yadav. In sharp contrast NSUI .

Bhaskar Yadav's original rustication order specified that he would be rusticated from the University if he.

Networked Fabrication for Urban Provocations.
Shifting Paradigms from Mass Production to Mass Customization
Computational architecture and design course
Conventional construction methods all depart from the basic premises of mass production: standardization, modulation and a production line. What these systems developed during the last two centuries fail to take into account are the evolutionary leaps and bounds the manufacturing industry has taken over the last decades. With the introduction of CNC technologies and rapid prototyping machines have altered the paradigms of fabrication forever. It is due to these new tools that it is now possible to create (n) amount of completely unique and different pieces with the same amount of energy and material that is required to create (n) identical pieces. The possibilities for implementation of new forms, textures, materials and languages are infinite due to the versatility that these new tools offer a growing network of architects, designers, fabricators that are integrating them into their professional practices to generate unique and precise objects that respond to countless data and real-life conditions.

Sarah P Corbett was 'Craftivist in Residence' at Greenbelt Festival in August 2025.

Festival capacity 12,000. Kettering UK
Inviting festival-goers to slow down, reflect on how to be a loving activist and citizen, and hand-make healthy and strategic responses to injustices harming our world. Expect thoughtful provocation and threads of radical hope woven through every session across the weekend.
There were so many opportunities to find out more about – and take part in – Sarah’s gentle, quiet and creative campaigning.
A packed weekend for Sarah who wanted to do even more but there was no capacity:
1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Stitchable Changemakers' 90min workshop for 50 participants to learn how they could use their gifts, talents, content and power to be the most effective and compassionate gentle protesters on issues they care about
2. 1. Sold out and oversubscribed 'Dream-Making ' 90min workshop for 50 participants to channel their anger and sadness at injustices they see into focusing on what utopian visions they want to see, hear, smell, touch and even taste as their dream
(e.g. save the bees changes to 'I dream of happy bees') which then helps each maker learn ways they can be part of the dream they wish to see - all based on neuroscience.
3. "Crafterthoughts' evening session where craftivists brought their own projects to Show and tell us about including the successes, challenges, learnings and answer any questions by others. Some people came with half formed ideas they wanted advice on from the group on how to deliver effectively and strategically. Some people came just to listen and learn. All made new connections and friends and you could feel the solidarity and encouragement in the room!
4. Sunday sunset last event was our climate craftivism performance: Craftivist Collective members joined members of Leena Norms’ Gumption Club wearing their upcycled 'Canary Craftivists' outfits to walk silently through the festival and sit as a flock to send photos and a handmade happy lifesized canary to the local MP and the owner of the festival grounds to encourage them to protest Greenbelt festival from the climate crisis and do what they can to act faster and bolder to create a healthier world
5. Planned pop-up appearance at The Caravan of Love for passersby to take part in a 10minute drop in craftivism workshop supporting Fashion Revolution to take home and 'shop drop'
6. Planned pop-up appearance under a free in the festival's mini forest area for passersby to take part in a 15minute drop in craftivism workshop choosing one of 5 Gentle Nudge messages on woven labels to sew into their clothes or accessories to encourage them as kind citizens and stewards of our planet
7. Overflowing tent of hundreds of people for Sarah interviewing Patrick Grant: BBC Great British Sewing Bee judge and fashion designer interviewing him about his work and book 'Less' whilst 3 craftivists sat on stage with us silently make Mini Fashion Statements during the session that Patrick then threw out into the audience encouraging them to 'shop-drop' these handwritten mini scrolls into fast fashion shop pockets or their friends pockets to encourage shoppers to ask 'who made these clothes' and be curious consumers
8. Sarah wrote and handstitched a prayer she was asked to read at the Sunday Communion on stage infront of thousands of attendees.
9. Throughout the festival Sarah was interviewed for social media teams for Greenbelt, Christian Aid and podcasts and had informal conversations with festival goers
Male Robins are noted for their highly aggressive territorial behaviour. They will ruthlessly attack other males that stray into their territories, and have been observed attacking other small birds without apparent provocation. Such attacks sometimes lead to fatalities, accounting for up to 10% of adult Robin deaths in some areas.
