Accessorize with Toys!
Ever wonder what to do with those random small toy parts too dear to toss but no longer any fun?

San Francisco designers, emiko oye and Shana Astrachan (members of the Metal Arts Critique Collective) will show you how to approach jewelry making with alternative materials and simple craft tools. Participants are encouraged to bring small plastic and rubber toy parts to work with or contribute. All ages welcome; especially great for families.

Fab@Home version 2
Cornell University
A new Fab@Home has been developed at Cornell University. By changing the electronics and mechanics, the cost was reduced from $2500 to roughly $1500. These changes reduce build effort, required skill of assembler, and increase system speed without sacrificing accuracy. We are also using the Fab@Home to create food structures that are otherwise extremely difficult to create by professional chefs.
