- 31. Workshops filled very quickly, so we had to create 3 different sessions: 2 for homeschoolers and the other for the public.
- 32. Maker Boot Camp workshops • Video Game Design (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours) • 3D Design/Printing (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours) • Fun With Electronics/Circuitry (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours) • Introduction to Robotics (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours) • Virtual Reality (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours) • Video Editing for Film (3 sessions, 4 ½ hours)
- 34. After the gaming lecture, the kids built a video game!
- 37. https://form.jotform.com/53475018527155 Kids could submit 3D designs to be printed at the workshop. It was very popular, so I had to create a web form to keep up with the demand!
- 38. 3D Printing Process 1. Design an object via computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software. Not design-oriented? Try Shapeways, Sculpteo or Thingiverse. 2. The software will export the object as an .STL file ("stereolithography" or "Standard Tessellation Language"), which will then be built (printed) layer-by-layer (i.e., Additive Manufacturing). 3. Load the .STL file into the printer. (e.g., via Repetier). 4. Slice (i.e., create layers for the object). Note: Repetier integrates Slic3r into the software. 5. 3D printing materials vary. We use PLA (Polylactic acid) filament. Visit http://reprap.org/wiki/PLA for more information.

- 85. Sample interview questions for documentary film How did you get involved with the Maker Boot Camp? What makes technology exciting? What was your favorite technology to explore at the MBC (Chad's question from previous email)? What would you like to learn more about? (Ditto) Are video games art, are developers artists? Tell us about the differences between teaching this subject at the college level and at MBC. Did you ever imagine that video games you played as a kid would be played by kids in 2015? What makes a video game a classic? What cabinet or early console title has not gotten the recognition it deserves? Source: Chris Demmons, videographer
- 86. Sample interview questions for documentary film What do you hope that parents and kids took away from your sessions on video games? How is MBC different from working with the library's other youth programs? Has the MBC changed the way you look at technology? Was there a common theme in the kid's MBC journals? What do you hope that parents and kids got out of MBC? What makes someone a "maker?" Talk about the difference between working with college students, and the kids at MBC. What was your favorite session? Are there any new additions to the lab that you'd like to show us? What are you hoping to do in the Innovation Lab in the future? Source: Chris Demmons, videographer
