Here is a little bookmark I made to share with all my book/coffee/cat lovin’ homies. I modeled the lady off my therapist, who is one smart mentor. Feel free to download and distribute as you wish. Here is a PDF suitable for printing.

Simple Circuits (squishy and other)
These are couple of lil dudes made out of a conductive clay that was whipped up by one of the most talented YA librarians I know, Mari put on a workshop about simple circuits and as a bonus, we used cookie cutters that were printed on the 3D printer! We also made brushbots from a pager motor, a decapitated toothbrush and a watch battery. I hacked mine to become a “Whopperbot.”
3D printing Classes at the Lab!
I’ve had the opportunity to give an intro to 3D design class several times now and each time I learn a little more. I am also surprised at how interest keeps building in the service. I have started surveying the folks who come to the classes to try to get an idea of where to grow the program. The last survey was pretty unanimous in that participants want more advanced training with CAD software. I used an old advertising trick that doctors hate to get them to fill out the surveys, I offered one free print to whomever completed a 5 question Survey Monkey questionnaire.
