Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to the Boise State Engineering and Science Festival last Saturday! We had a great turnout making over 500 bristlebots with the help of children and families from around the state! Everyone had a great time and it was made even better knowing that a lot of you saw are former post!

Above are a handful of pictures of the event! We thank Boise State for letting us participate in the event and we once again thank everyone who attended!

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!

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!

]]> 3D Printing for Education https://educate.reuseum.org/2013/01/11/3d-printing-for-education/ Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:18:28 +0000 http://educate.reuseum.org/?p=324
A 3D printer.

In 2012 we received a very humbling request to make two 3D printers for local high schools, and this fall we installed them and began training teachers and students alike to operate the printers. In the near future, we hope to help them learn to assemble new printers, and harness the awesome power to not only manufacture and prototype new things, but to build the machines that make those things as well. It is for learning these fundamental skills that we strive to incorporate into our service, and part of the experience we provide with every new printer we bring into the world.

Open-source desktop manufacturing  is quickly becoming the next major technological revolution, and like many that have come before, it promises to shed new light on the way we think about creating and inventing, as well as the way we act as consumers.   Much to the credit of global movements like Reprap the technology and community of science, open-source hardware is evolving at an extremely rapid pace.  Companies that design and build 3D printers often suffer from their own structure as they try and maintain a proprietary model that hinders the true nature of growth and innovation embraced by individuals and institutions alike through Reprap. Not only do we provide a 3D printer, but the service of training and fostering the ethic that makes Reprap a technology based on growth and new ideas.

In 2013, we will be continuing our work of making, inventing, and fostering community culture, and we would like to bring it to your doorstep.  We would like to offer to individuals, educators, and educational institutions the ability to make and use their own desktop 3D printer, as well as resources and consultation on forming grassroots community campaigns to provide funding and subsidization.  Our current educational package includes a kit or fully assembled and ready to print Reprap 3D printer, training, and hardware upgrade options to keep in line with the rate of progression and innovation that this technology sees.

If you or your organization is interested in sourcing a 3D printer, please contact Dave at info(at) reuseum.com, and make sure and include “3D printers for Education” in the subject line.
