We had a great time with the kids from the Idaho Learning Center doing a workshop on JunkDrawer Robots! With all the parts from our drawers, the kids had a blast putting random parts and pieces together to create an exciting, motorized mechanical android! Here are some pictures of the event, and what the kids made!

Reuseum Educational, Inc. is delighted to have had the opportunity to conduct a BristleBot Workshop Event at Cynthia Mann Elementary School. We were invited to join with Ms. Sundvik’s 4th graders to build BristleBot Robots for the entire class.

May we also take this opportunity to thank Erica Compton for her help and contribution as well. It was fun and educational for all. Yeah Robots!

DECONSTRUCTION LAB (free open house!) 

January 10, 11AM – 2PM

Ever want to just tear something apart, just to see what’s inside? Well come tear it up with us!

This drop-in Deconstruction Lab is a creative activity covering the topics of what recycled technology looks like, what methods are used to refine it, and an exploration of what we may do with parts rendered from the process. Each participant will deconstruct some recycled technology and will have the opportunity to take insights from engineering, design, manufacturing, and other aspects of the pieces that are taken apart. Participants then have the opportunity to sort pieces for future projects, take “treasures” home and incorporate new knowledge into their daily lives.

Here are some cool images from the last Deconstruction Lab we did!

This free event is open open-house format: drop in when you can, stay as long as you like!

If you are interested in a Deconstruction Lab for your organization, please contact us!

]]> Recycled Robots: A First Circuit for Aspiring Inventors https://educate.reuseum.org/2014/02/04/recycled-robots-a-first-circuit-for-aspiring-inventors/ Wed, 05 Feb 2014 02:59:21 +0000 http://educate.reuseum.org/?p=573

Some obsolete technologies such as cellphones and retired pagers can be to use and become tools of learning. You might have already seen lots of ideas surrounding the art of making a simple bristlebot, essentially a motor and battery glued onto the bristle end of an old toothbrush. This is a great idea, and we put a little twist on the kit by using recycled parts from cast off phones, pagers, and other small handheld devices. Other parts that we put into kits are items such as colorful wire, springs, gears, pieces of cd’s, and electronic components, to augment our robot’s look and feel.

It is nice to look back and remember all of the robots of this kind that we have seen be made, and know that none has ever been the same as another. One’s own individuality makes such an awesome spark to add life to these robots.

Check out this awesome gallery of robots that the group at Boise Schools Community Ed made last night!  Quite the hive of new bugs, I’d say!

]]> Hivebugs Workshop https://educate.reuseum.org/2013/01/08/hivebugs-workshop/ Tue, 08 Jan 2013 20:13:09 +0000 http://educate.reuseum.org/?p=330
A hivebug.
Another hivebug.

Our in-house robotics enthusiast has dreamed up some pretty cool 3D printed robots that have some fun and intriguing features.  Hivebugs are simple to build and hack, but can respond to each other and communicate with light.  These robots resemble a firefly that flickers different colors of light when it sees others of its kind doing the same, and can attract or repel other Hivebugs with its magnetic antennae. They can even combine to make swarms and shapes together.  At the Hivebugs Workshop, you will have the opportunity to make your own custom made version of these incredible creatures!

Using low cost pieces, and a colorful part printed on a Reprap 3D printer, these little ‘bots make for a fun time, and lots of interesting experiments.

Here is a short video we made of a little group of these cool critters!

On Saturday, February 2nd 2013 from Noon-3pm, we’ll be building and hacking these fun starter robots and making our own hive!  This workshop is recommended for ages 8-198. We will be covering basics and there is no soldering required for the kit.

If you would like to attend, please follow the link to register!

Cost of the workshop is $35.00+tax and includes:

-3D printed platform piece

-Breadboard

– 2 ea.  CD Rom motors

-Components for 3 different robot designs

-Test Batteries

-Printed robot building tutorial booklet for each project.

 

]]> The Art & Science of Indie Gaming https://educate.reuseum.org/2012/12/05/the-art-science-of-indie-gaming/ Wed, 05 Dec 2012 18:58:27 +0000 http://educate.reuseum.org/?p=306

A great way to have some great quality time is to simply play games.  We all have bins and closets packed with our favorites and we think it might be a fun time if we all got together and had a gaming night at Reuseum Ed to celebrate the holidays!

We love our games, and like playing classic games we grew up with, making new concepts for the games we have, and even inventing our own games with our imaginations and ingenuity. We have the tools to make lots of fun stuff too, and practice creating sculptures with our  3D printers, papercraft templates and inspiration from other awesome games that you make.

Feel free to bring your favorite game to play from home, or bring your game with missing pieces to hack together with another game in like condition in order to make a game mashup!

We’ll also have some awesome homemade games like Seej and other DIY favorites out for play, like our giant Interplanetary Exploration game that our Raising Makers group is inventing.  Members of Open Lab Idaho will also be there, showing off some fun independently produced video games that excel that bring tons of creativity into their play, and bring a lot of what has always been fun about video games back into the limelight.

Come one, come all to the Reuseum on Saturday, December 15th All day, from 10am to 6pm.  This is a free event! Optional materials and kits for DIY games and pieces are available for purchase.
