Of all the surprises in my Sunday servo exploration I think these large pitched screws from some 25 year old Futaba servos was the coolest! Also I some how hacked 270ish degrees of rotation from junkie micro servos...🤔

"Over the last couple of years in #UTeachMaker has completely transformed the way I want to teach, allowed me to be more ambitious with projects, & provided me with endless resources and community! I’ll cherish what the program has taught me for years after I graduate." - Juliet
Last weekend we had our first virtual weekend workshop. We worked on channeling our emotions through creative processes like #Making! We made intention sticks, personal permission slips and fear masks! This was a really fun time to get to know each other better #MakerCommunity
"Making creates a space for students to explore their ideas & creativity, increasing interest as they take command of their own learning. It's an opportunity to empower students & allow them to develop a sense of agency, that they play a part in shaping the world." - Christina
Last week we had our first Cohort Meeting since our extended spring break via #Zoom It was really refreshing to get back to our maker family and getting to check in with everyone! Keep #Making and Keep being awesome! We miss each and every #UteachMaker and #MakerMentor! #MakerEd
