Hello Friends! I just made this great black and white PIE calendar for 2008! It has illustrations of homemade switches on it and drawings of supplies floating all around!

Download the attachment (this file is 6.6 MB) and print the file on 8.5"x14" legal size paper. Or, you can scale the document to fit the paper size in the Printer Options tab.

Have a great year!

Squeezable Circuits Workshop

Submitted by Kristen M on June 5, 2007 - 1:52pm.

This winter, we did a Saturday workshop called "Squeezable Circuits". The kids (ten of them, 9-12 years old) made their own squeeze-triggered circuits, and then used motors, lights, buzzers, and a variety of recycled and craft materials to create creatures that came alive when you squeezed a glove. This project was inspired by California artist Bernie Lubell and work he did with Mike and Karen at the Exploratorium. The workshop lasted three hours.
