Interns Corner: Meet Our Newest Intern

A warm welcome to Ben, Make: Labs’ newest recruit!  Although still a senior in high school, Ben has plenty of experience in making, and has lost no time in acquainting himself with the plethora of tools in our Lab. A favorite of his is the laser cutter, which he used to make his Big Button (shown below).  He is also enrolled in the new Project: Make class, and made his favorite project to date, the circuit bending keytar, as an assignment.  According to Ben, the class is โ€œa great opportunity to learn more about the makerโ€™s spirit.โ€  He has certainly brought that spirit to the Labs with him!


"What could be cooler than a laser that cuts anything I put in its path?" Not much!

โ€œI saw Stevie Wonder live,โ€ reminisces Ben, โ€œand his keytar solos caught my attention. When I saw the prices online, however, I was a little shocked. Then I realized: I could make one for myself!โ€
