Squirrel and Dayton Appear at 3D Print-A-Thon
There has been a lot of hype about 3D printers in media over the past while. Of course the Squirrel Project has a couple of 3D printers so was invited to the Ottawa 3D Print-A-Thon. The event was very successful. I presented the idea of using 3D printers to perfect the propellers. Of course many fans of the Squirrel Project showed up and a couple of keen kids made a couple planes. I cooked up a Dayton myself.
Picnic ideas for Ottawa, ON
Picnic season is here! If your floating around Ottawa and are looking for something that’s frugal and fun (not to mention educational), why not make some rubber-power planes with the kids? We will wave delivery charges locally and you can have them very quickly. As you can see below I am using my bike to deliver them myself. I can show you how to make them too.
Model airplane workshops in a school using an overhead
I was invited to help kids make some Squirrels at a school.
My contact Robert had an innovative idea of using an overhead projector and a camera so the kids could see the steps close up. This is a brilliant idea and is much better than the way I was doing it. I think with some refinement this could be the ultimate technique.
As you can see below, it was a large group!
CBC Interview with Kathleen Petty
I had the priveledge of being interviewed by Kathleen Petty at the studio on Queen Street in Ottawa. What a great experience.
The youtube below is taken right from the radio so there’s only a slideshow and no real images (welcome to radio), so I put in a slideshow from Squirrel-O-Rama and other events.
