12/11/2018. For the record, the iNEST club did not meet on December 11th due to the unexpected early snow storm that closed Wake County Schools.
12/4/2018. One of the project areas in the iNEST maker club that is infrequently visited is "fabrics and fibers." Today in iNEST, the girls were given the option of working with 1) sewn/stuffed felt pieces or 2) the wool felting technique to create small holiday ornaments. Most of the girls chose the felting technique. Before the club meeting, Dr. Oliver prepared a handout with pictures of sample projects that students could complete. This project is synergistic with the soft circuit work the girls completed during October to create light-up Halloween brooches, and in fact these ornaments could be lit-up with LEDs as well, although students only worked with felting today. Next week the club will wrap up for the fall semester with further holiday crafting and a pizza party.
