The in-between conundrum. Between shooting videos for @seesaw, @mcds, the new www.makerslab.com website for Tinkering, we accidentally bought an 18 pound ham for Easter. For five of us. In fairness, it was the last one. Now, figuring out ham soup. Can’t go the thick soup route. Lets see what happens if we treat it like chicken soup, but don’t add salt. 👍 (at San Rafael, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B--HJq7JKRG/?igshid=ezc0nwt569

Face shield plastic three days early! The MCDS Makers’ Lab is going into face shield production! Working with @UCSF to get them a prototype face shield so I can get some feedback loops going on a film only shield. We should be able to do a few hundred a day if needed.

STEAMy! High frequency words aka Makers’ Lab style. Hammers, nails, two kinds of wood, cool safety glasses and hair do-das! Yes. Hair do-das, you know, so long hair stays out of the way. (at Marin Country Day School) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SEwBZpRqk/?igshid=4oh5aguvmxdw

The Inclusivitree has sprouted leaves! Each leaf decorated by students with the reverse having an action to take to help build a more inclusive community. The leaves are held in place by friction and can be engaged with in person or you can deliver a leaf. Let the grand experiment begin!
