W H AT H A P P E N E D M O N DAY Clockwise from top: Barry turns the tables on a handcranked generator; Sherlock on the floor with his scribbling machine; Close-up of a markmaking contraption. We explored the Scribbling Machines activity as a way to get everyone comfortable working in a materials-rich studio environment, and to share a few ways that we introduce technology as part of a PIE activity. “Everything in kid’s lives today is becoming so high tech, sometimes it’s nice to go back to elementary ideas of technology.” Kathy (LIGO) 4
W H AT H A P P E N E D T U E S DAY Clockwise from left: Becky examines the mechanism of a cardboard automaton; Robert tests his sound contraption; Deborah builds a rain-stick; John investigates the sound-making potential of found objects. Creating Cardboard Automata gave us an opportunity to explore cams and other simple mechanical movements. Then we experimented with more complex mechanisms and used them as inspiration for the Scratch Film Sound Automata activity. “You can have an idea, but to have an idea with a glue gun, some wood, and some screws, and then to make something – that’s a whole other level.” John (LIGO) 5
