About the Maker(s)

Bruce Shapiro
Bruce Shapiro has been experimenting with motion control for twenty years. He creates computer-controlled, kinetic sculptures for science centers throughout the word, and has taught motion control classes in California, Minnesota, and Ireland. This year, he is again teaming up with his son Ben (a Stanford C.S. grad) and Brian Schmalz of Schmalzhaus.com (an embedded systems Engineer from Minneapolis) to take his first motion control device, "Eggbot," to the next level.
