Thanks for exploring + reflecting with us! We loved sharing 3 takes on balance and hearing your 💡 for remixing the activity to suite your own spaces, learners, and goals.

Plus such a joy to present with @CTScienceCenter + @BosChildMuseum 🥳

Process: I used a small screwdriver and a fork to create a series of holes and indents in my pumpkin. I also used a countersinking burr on the inside of the pumpkin to thin out the wall in certain places.

I’m playing with Pumpkin hacking in the lead up to Halloween! With the @TinkeringStudio, we’re investigating different tools that we can use to hack some jack-o-lanterns 🎃

"The railing on the stairs suddenly looked like a perfect place for a mini skateboard to grind down. My coffee cup lid started to look more and more like a wide, open mouth. The second I started thinking about two frame animations, I couldn’t stop!"- Michael (2/2) #ArtOfTinkering

"The magic of two frame animation isn’t just in the final animation. As I was thinking about two frame animations, I found myself looking at everything around me in a different way..." (1/2) #ArtOfTinkering
