We’ve got a double header for you as we kick off the final week of Maker Camp. The theme of this week is Make: Believe and to get started we’re going to hangout with master costume and prop builder Shawn Thorsson at 11am PDT. He will show us how to make a prop hammer out of casting foam and talk about other tricks of his trade. For added inspiration, he’ll also be showing off some of the amazing props he’s created.

Today’s first project is how to cast a cool robot toolchain. For an advanced project, we’re featuring moldmaking by none other than Myth Buster’s Adam Savage.

Then at 1pm PDT we’re going to hangout with Ayah Bdeir, founder and CEO of littleBits. She will lead a special Make: Believe HOA demonstrating how littleBits can help anyone use electronics to bring imagination to life. And she’ll be showing off her Unihorn Bike Helmet that you can make, too!
