Q: "Name something that we all do as children, something that is considered good and important, but when we do it as adults it's often looked down upon?"

==

A: "Play" :)

A great (and timely) Freakonomics podcast out today about the importance of play and games. Highly recommend and agree!

Received a bag of amazing engineering goodness at the shop today. Yes, that tote bag was full of Mark Rober Crunch Labs sets! Ready to be disassembled, reassembled and fixed up. If you disassemble it and take your time, you won't even need the instructions-- Actually, I'm making that the rule.. no instruction manuals for these sets!

To the kind (and clearly awesome family) who donated these. Thank You!! Apologies for not being there for the drop off.

Let me know who you are and I'll use the
'Domino Catapult' set to launch a 3D printed gift card your way.

Thanks Again!!

🖨️ From Idea to Reality — Kids Learn 3D Printing!

Got a kid who loves to build, design, or tinker? This 3-session 3D Printing Series is the perfect hands-on intro to turning imagination into real, physical creations.

In this course, makers (ages 8–12) will go step-by-step through the full 3D printing journey — from “How does this even work?” to “I made this!”

They’ll:
🔧 Learn how 3D printers build objects layer by layer (and why it’s so cool)
💻 Design their own creations in Tinkercad
⚙️ Prep their designs for printing using Bambu Studio (orientation, supports, infill, and more)
🧠 Explore other types of 3D printing (resin, powder, even metal!)
🖨️ Print, test, and improve their own custom design

📅 Schedule: Saturdays from 9:00–10:30am, starting May 9th (3 sessions)
👥 Ages: 8–12
🚗 Drop-off friendly (ages 8+)

By the end, every student walks away with a 3D-printed project they designed themselves — and the confidence to keep creating.
