/ gravescolleen / 2 Comments

Thanks to Demco for hosting this free webinar! You can now stream anytime and take a gander at how Aaron and I went live during the webinar to showcase how easy it is to make a scribblebot.  (And somehow busted the casing off of a toothbrush motor in the process! Just goes to show that you really to have to be ready for anything in a makerspace!)

I also wanted to share this how-to video for making scribblebots on my Youtube channel to help you get started making this simple tinkering machine with everyday materials. In our book The Big Book of Makerspace Projects, we’ve written step by step instructions, included a parts lists, and even shared our classroom tips for working with groups!

Over on the Demco landing page for our webinar, we have included our slides and an extensive Q&A from viewers! So, go check it out, maybe we’ll answer something you’ve been curious about yourself!

Aaron and I are so excited that our first book will be out soon! It will be available via Amazon and Barnes and Noble. We’ll also have a free e-book for parents interested in starting a family maker time soon!

Our promo video is ready to share and it showcases two paper circuit projects utilizing Chibitronics. Inside our book, you’ll have the templates for re-creating these paper circuit cards with your students.  (Plus a few more I didn’t include in the video) Aaron created these adorable drawings and I designed the circuitry.  We just can’t wait for you to start making and hacking our projects.

Plus, I’m updating our #BigMakerBook landing page to include wish lists of resources you’ll need for each chapter.

We are so excited to see what you make!
