Happy Holidays from the Reuseum!

Happy holidays to everyone this holiday season! We have been busy with the December madness; this Christmas tree being one of those fun, yet crazy experiences! We helped bring this tree to life by animating the toys and all of the big decorations on the Christmas tree such as the monkey who bangs his hands together and the carousel which spins in circles. This Christmas tree which we helped make for the Festival of Trees event down in Boise, came in 2nd place in the tree design competition!

Thank you to everyone who took part with the event and have a joyful holiday from everyone at the Reuseum!

]]> Drop-in Deconstruction Lab! https://educate.reuseum.org/2015/01/06/drop-in-deconstruction-lab/ Wed, 07 Jan 2015 01:16:36 +0000 http://educate.reuseum.org/?p=844

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!

Reuseum Educational, Inc., 3145 W Chinden Blvd, Garden City, ID 83714

]]> 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!
