Maker Connections featuring EepyBird

From the creator

Take a virtual field trip to makers' studios and bring a little piece of the Maker Faire experience to your classroom.  Maker Connections is a series of live video sessions, connecting classrooms with inspirational Makers leading up to Maker Faire Bay Area 2014. Come along with us on virtual field trips to meet the makers! Explore makers' workspaces, check out their favorite tools, learn how they got started, see what they creating now. Best of all, you can ask questions live, straight to the maker! This week: Stephen Voltz & Fritz Grobe of EepyBird know how to turn wild ideas into reality. In the EepyBird Laboratory in Maine, they experiment with Coke and Mentos, sticky notes, paper airplanes, ping pong balls, and more, searching for ways to transform these things from everyday life into something new and unforgettable. This field trip will take us to the EepyBird Laboratory, where they'll share experiments from their new book, How to Build a Hovercraft, give us a peek at a project in progress, and answer viewer questions. Inspired to try one of their experiments yourself? Try making your own Spiderweb Illusion and discover the fun trick you can play with just one roll of masking tape. If you can, catch one of their explosive Coke and Mentos Fountain performances, coming soon to Maker Faire Bay Area 2014. Want to join in as an on-camera classroom?
