Benjamin Cowden
Twenty Seven Gears
Benjamin Cowden makes interactive mechanical sculptures that explore the ways people interact with each other and with the world around them. Meticulously fabricated movements contrast with apparently trivial processes to offer users a playful experience as well as an invitation to re-examine their activities and perceptions.

Ben Krasnow
Interactive Furniture
I build pieces of furniture that are designed to be interactive and/or to provide a useful function. For example, an end table that is also a refrigerator, a coffee table that has a fluid-filled lazy susan, speaker stands that are aquariums and provide a light show sync'd to the music.

Betsy Burroughs
Mobile Typing Glove
The HandWriter is a wearable device that serves as a mobile keyboard and mouse. It is also an inexpensive Braille writer. Just plug it into any USB-enabled device and you can begin typing with one hand.
The one-handed typing glove allows users to type free of a keyboard providing freedom of movement and freedom from repetitive stress injury. The one-handed device can be used with either the left or right hand.
It is based on Dr. Douglas Engelbart's original chorded key set and uses a combination of finger presses to type the entire alphabet. The alphabet is as simple to learn as the Alphabet in American Sign Language.

Bill's Artbots
I will demonstrate several artbots, one of which is a windharp outfitted with homemade, electric-guitar pickups. This artbot will produce erie and harmonious sounds as a nearby fan is used to simulate a light wind. When people walk by, they change the wind patterns and the sounds. This windharp is a smaller version of one I have connected to an Internet Radio Station that can be heard at: http://windharp.webhop.net
Other artbots shown will be: Farad, Jar-o-circuits, Picbugs, Fireflys, Solar lifeforms in jars.

The experience of actually setting off small explosions in a safe and protected environment is breathtaking, one-of-a-kind, and surely never forgotten.

Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone
A truly amazing feature of pops is they can be cast into any shape you can imagine. In this workshop you will learn how to make simple pop molds from everyday household items, such as glasses, cookie cutters, ice cube trays and even food packaging, from wax paper to plastic juice boxes. Or if you really want to get crafty, experiment with liquid silicone and make molds out of found objects, small toys or characters you sculpt from your imagination.
