Maker Faire Bay Area 2023

Making with a Disney Imagineer and Muppeteer

Home: California, United States

Hear a fun, information-rich exchange between Disney Imagineer and Muppeteer Terri Hardin - https://terrihardin.com/ - and Silicon Valley Maker Frank Cohen. Learn the process they followed and how they pivoted from the original concept by pulling-in their interests in Steampunk style, Disney-style story telling, and wearable art jewelry. The talk will end with a discussion of using 3D printing, Arduino, IoT, and other technologies to make the design-to-fabrication process inexpensive and accessible. They will cite the big lessons to move from prototyping into fabrication in China to help you on your own project. Many times Frank imagined making a mobile application connected to the Internet. For example, a wrist watch that shows videos of my children growing-up. He loves the Arduino community and yet when he goes to put something like this together he finds many tutorials on the parts (like a display, Bluetooth, SD card, sound, and compass) there's very little I found that shows them integrated together. He am making my watch project and posting the code, datasheets, and design in the Reflections repository. https://github.com/frankcohen/ReflectionsOS.
