1-hour workshops starting at 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.
Led by Makers Ann Mayoral & Chris Myers from SpinBots
Join Anne & Chris to make robots that spin as they create artistic masterpieces. SpinBots are made with laser-cut parts, zip ties, and surplus/recycled motors. The 'bots are designed to spin around in circles, so when you attach markers to their legs they draw gorgeous spiraling patterns. You may have seen these robots spinning in our Maker Faire gallery this past summer.
Free with museum admission.

Young Maker Plussing Session #1
2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Young Makers get together monthly to share their innovations for Maker Faire. Plussing Sessions allow project teams to get feedback on their in-progress projects from other participants. They also provide teams practice talking about their projects, the challenges they are facing, and how they intend to overcome them. Even if you don’t have your project started yet, students ages 12-18 and their parents can meet other Makers and learn more about becoming Young Makers of the South Bay.
Young Makers get free admission to the museum on Open Make days.
