Next week is our first Atelier, when museum and out-of-school educators from around the country will come to Minnesota to play with Crickets, and to think about how to get other people to play with Crickets. There's more info in Upcoming Events...

I've been trying to figure out a good way to construct animals and environments for the workshop. Environments, I can imagine how I want to do them, and I've made some that I like. That seems easy. Animals have been harder to figure out than I expected. I haven't even tried adding the crickets yet. I am still just trying to figure out a good way of making creatures that will be able to move or respond in an interesting way. So far, it has worked to think about endoskeletons and exoskeletons.
