I found your blog to be very informative and helpful and hope you dont mind if I use some of your content on my page with full credits and links referring back to you and your blog. I am an Art Teacher getting my masters in Art Education and am trying to educate and share the transformative opportunities of transmediation in the arts. Thank you for your contribution!

]]> Comment on Art, Fabrication, and the Endover Puzzle by kjellwr4 http://www.willykjellstrom.com/endover-puzzle/comment-page-1/#comment-620 kjellwr4 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:13:55 +0000 http://www.willykjellstrom.com/?p=1677#comment-620 Hey Andy, I would love to see/read what your grandfather developed. A curriculum would be a bonus! Thanks for the offer, and I hope that we can connect. As an aside, I just prototyped a soma cube (I am going to call it an Endover cube) that, when fabricated on a 3D printer, will balance on a vertex. This prototype needs some revision because of my inadequate measurements. I am using software that students will use, and I failed to account for the material, spacing, and warping. Thanks for the comment, and I look forward to continued conversation. -Willy Hey Andy,

My grandfather is obsessed with it and has developed curriculum for 5th graders on making a taxonomy of all the solutions. Get in touch if you want to talk Soma Cube solutions.

I had a chance to check out the Centre's website, and it appears that digital fabrication is one element in larger environmental issues that you are all trying to address. Kudos. The focus of my research lies at the intersection of elementary education (US) and digital fabrication- more specifically, how can fabrication technologies (software and hardware) help students learn traditional STEM subjects in interesting ways. To that end, we are in the process of developing a unit focusing on wind turbines which seems like it might be of interest. It is a bit different from other curricular initiatives centered around turbines in that it features rapid fabrication, data analysis, and engineering design for upper elementary students. Let me know if it is of interest and I will post the files on my blog when it is finished. Interesting stuff, Alex.

We’ve just started experimenting with digital fabrication at the Centre for Alternative Technology. One of our engineers is building a 3D printer from scratch. The designs are all open source. We’re hoping to start making components to use in some of our renewable energy systems. Blog post here: http://blog.cat.org.uk/2011/06/08/open-source-digital-fabrication/ We think it’s really important that these technologies are open source- and that people start using digital fabrication to address environmental problems.
