April 19, 2012

Browsing around Kickstarter the other day, I noticed a project called the Pebble.  Basically, it’s a watch with an e-ink screen that communicates with your smartphone over bluetooth.   You can download apps for it such as a bicycle computer, golf rangefinder, and…oh yeah, you can use it to tell time.  The project has taken off, [...]

Crayon Art

April 18, 2012

I teach grades 1-4 at Poulsbo Adventist School. We try to come up with interesting things to create in Art. We recently did an art project using crayons…although not the way you would ordinarily use them. I got the idea from another teacher. We attached crayons atop a framed canvas using epoxy. We heated the [...]

Get Inside the Box…

April 12, 2012

Everyone knows that to be truly inspired you’ve got to… “think outside the box”…right?. Well I’m here to urge you to “get inside the box”. Allow me to explain.

Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson on KitsapMaker

April 3, 2012

“It was really fun.” Sometimes the Kitsap Mini Maker Faire defies explanation, but I think Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson described the Faire perfectly. Part of the KitsapMaker team recently met with Poulsbo Mayor Becky Erickson to discuss last year’s event and plan for this year’s Faire.

We Love RC

March 29, 2012

You can’t go far among makers if you don’t know something about a remote controlled something. That may not be entirely true, but it sure feels that way. The important something is that they are lots of fun and our Kitsap Mini Maker Faire team builds remote controlled cars, planes, tricopters, quadcopters, and probably an [...]

Come and Make a Difference

March 29, 2012

I never had a hobby, not even as a kid. As an adult, hearing kids talk about their Lego creations is even foreign to me!  My husband always tells me “You need a hobby.” Hobbies are not really part of the culture I grew up in. People didn’t use their interests and skills just to [...]
