This past Tuesday, Nov 29th, at the iNEST maker club, we welcomed two adult visitors--a visiting scholar from Turkey who is studying in the College of Education at NC State, and Stephanie's daughter Val, who set up a sewing machine and helped the students make holiday pillows. Students learned to sew the basic outer structure of a pillow, and then sewed on additional felt shapes and button elements. We were excited this week to see several students diving into the new LittleBits cart that is stocked with four of every bit that LittleBits produces. One student created a LittleBits speaker and was able to play aloud a YouTube video from her laptop, another student worked on the LittleBits catapult quest, and another on the LittleBits backpack-alarm quest. Several students also started the new paper fabrication-origami quest this week, and one took on the challenge of modifying her origami with copper foil tape to install a light-up LED element.
