Saturday, May 01, 2010

Time: 10:00a–5:00p

Location: N51

Open a book to make it glow, draw a sketch to create music, touch a pop-up book to make it move. This workshop (presented by researchers from MIT Media Lab’s High-Low Tech group) will teach you how to create interactive paintings and paper sculptures that sparkle, change shape, and sing. We’ll spend the day exploring the intersection of paper crafts, and electronics using paper, conductive paints, traditional paints, ribbons, beads, lights, speakers, and glue. No previous experience required. Lunch included with registration fee.

For teens (ages 15+) and adults only. Limited enrollment. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED.

Part of the Cambridge Science Festival.
