MAKE IT! Schedule
October 3: Haunted House Workshop | Girls Who Code Open workshop to collaborate on your ‘historic haunted house’ to enter in our annual competition. Learn about 'Girls Who Code' -- a computer science program for girls 3rd grade and up to build coding skills and community as they complete projects.
October 10: Wearable Electronics Whether you design a patch from scratch or start with one readymade, adding LEDs to a patch really lights things up. With needle, conductive thread, LEDs, and a power source you can transform accessories or clothes into wearable electronics.
October 17: » Spooky Shadow Puppets Make shadow puppets and put on a spooky Halloween show! Shadow puppets aren’t just for sunny days. They’re great fun indoors, too.
October 24: Pepper's Ghost Create an illusion that dates back to Victorian times. Pepper's ghost is a technique used in the theatre where an image of an object off-stage is projected so it appears to be in front of the audience. The illusion is widely used for entertainment and publicity purposes.
October 31: » It’s Alive! Recycled Robots Make a really cool recycled robot collage or a full 3-D robot! All you need are recycled materials (we have plenty) and your imagination. You'll find inspiration everywhere in Fulton’s Workshop.
