The Electronic Jug Band

Faire: Rome

Maker: Rick MacDonald

 

An exhibit showing how to use the latest low cost microcontroller and sensor technologies to create DIY electronic music instruments. The design and building of such instruments is a hands-on learning experience in both maker electronics and music concepts. The idea is similar to the creation of a Jug Band in the mid 1900s where individuals used household materials to create their instruments and then played them together to make music. In this case however the use of modern electronics provides many more possibilities and a much larger scope for creativity.

The Didi Jewelry Project

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Laurel

Home: United States

I sell unique jewelry made by women afflicted by HIV/AIDS and poverty in India. I have partnered with an NGO in Dew Delhi, India and have taught a group of 15 women to make jewelry. I design all the pieces and then teach the ladies I work with in India how to make each design. We then sell the jewelry to help them create the lives they deserve. Our goal is to give them a sustainable income and to help them gain confidence. We are designed locally, yet by purchasing our jewelry buyers are helping women in India, this fact sets us apart and creates a unique purchasing opportunity for customers.

SRB 2022-2023

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: BAJA Spartan Racing

Home: California, United States

All BAJA teams are required to build their vehicles around a Kohler CH440 internal combustion engine (ICE). This forces teams to prioritize powertrain optimization, reduced weight, and performance. Students must utilize their knowledge of materials, design principles, dynamics, thermodynamics, and data analysis to design the vehicle. Student teams then attend a competition. Vehicles participate in static and dynamic events. Static events include a cost event, business presentation, and design presentation. The dynamic events are acceleration, sled pull/hill climb, maneuverability, suspension/traction, and endurance. The highlight of our vehicle focuses around a mountain bike suspension system to give our vehicle a smoother travel experience over rough terrain.
