Tinkering Summer Camp

CyberParra

At the end of June I had my first Tinkering Summer Camp as coach & facilitator in collaboration with @raffaella and @tarmelop (held in Digital Accademia in the north of Italy)

Great Experience.
It has been a week in which a dozen boys and girls aged 9 to 13 yrs, have experienced, explored and played to be: Maker, Artists, and Programmers.

During the week the participants:

  • have built ScaraBots (scribble machines),
  • created sculptures with LED and squishy circuits,
  • made drawings through programming using Turtle Art
  • created programs and projects with Scratch and MakeyMakey board
  • and made several educational and leisure activities (unplugged)

Here is the PhotoGallery

That is really awesome. Is there any links or resources for making scarabots?
