Supporting inspiring education
Our competition to build the best wind turbine blades was won by Hillyfield primary school in London. They came first out of over 600 children. The winning blades generated 118mW of power in our windtunnel.
The prize was a hydrogen fuelled robot car; it uses a tiny fuel cell to generate electricity.
A frequent challenge I have with creative workshops is getting over the “I can’t do it” mentality, or the “blank slate fear”.
In my latest graffiti stencil workshop I tested a new piece of software that makes self portraits easier and less scary.
The participant uses a wiimote and a webcam to create a high contrast image of themselves. This is projected onto a wall which they can then trace onto a board. Using temporary stencils they can then create great images of themselves!
We got some fantastic results!
