Last weekend my friend Erin and I attended the first public workshop on paintable electronics/paper computing held by the High-Low Tech group at the MIT Museum. Part of the Cambridge Science Festival, it was a day-long (10am-5pm) demonstration and work session using conductive paints, batteries, and computing components to make interactive paper artworks.

Last weekend was the Cambridge Mini Maker Faire, which took place as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. A bunch of Boston-area makers were there to demo their projects and talk with the kids, families, and science-curious who came to the festival. I made the trek down from New Hampshire and spent the day hanging out and talking about my Soft Circuit Saturdays projects.

The first Boston Mini Maker Faire is happening on Saturday April 24 from 12-4pm. Come and meet some Boston Area makers sharing and demoing their projects as part of the Cambridge Science Festival. I’ll be there with some of the weekend projects that I share on this blog.

A special mid-week post in honor of Ada Lovelace Day! There are so many amazing women in technology that I could write about today (in fact I think most of the links on the sidebar of this site are to women), but I am choosing to highlight the work of my friend and REACTIVEfashion collaborator Rebecca Grabman.

This month has gone by so fast! I’ve been busy working on a lot of different projects, here are a few:
LED Jellies, Musical Instrument Hacks: Update, Thinking Locally: A NH Makerspace?, GaGalicious Coverage.

This week I had the opportunity to attend the 4th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction down at the MIT Medial Labs in Boston. I’ve been covering the event for Fashioning Technology and am posting lots of pictures and recaps of my experience.
