The season’s finalย Open Make @ the Hallย ends on a tiny note.ย The idea is to bring your little ones to UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science and get inspired by the big impact your mini-creations can have. The fun starts tomorrow, April 20, and runs from 10am-2pm.ย
The event coincides with a campus-wide Cal Day. Jennifer Jordan-Wong of theย East Bay Depot for Creative Reuseย upcycles little mint tins. Theย Nanoscale Informal Science Educationย Network will help you make your own gummy capsule, play with smart metals, make a liquid crystal sensor, and experiment with superhydrophobic surfaces. Finally,ย Sam Burdenย cleans up NISEโs gummy capsules with some hungry, robotic cockroaches.
MAKE founder Dale Dougherty will host a lively “Meet the Makers” session that will include short presentations from:
- Young Makers from the Lighthouse Charter School.
- Valentina Naglieri:ย PhD in Materials Science fromย Politecnico di Torino, Italy. She works as a post-doctoral student at Lawrence Berkeley Nationalย Laboratory ย with a research focus on materials processing and mechanical properties.
- Sam Burden:ย PhD candidate, EECS, Robotoc Cockraoches.ย ย
- Fatima Alleyne:ย ย Doctoral candidate in Material Science and Engineering Department at UC Berkeley. She research focus is nanotechnology.
- Paul Birkmeyer:ย PhD candidate at UC Berkeley and co-founder of Dash Robotics.
