One time, at hackerspace freeschool camp...

Just finished off my three weeks at camp with an afternoon of making chocolate gears, legos, and chess pieces using the latex molds we created during the week. The chocolate gears did not actually function as gears, so I am 0 for 1 on attempts for my friend Dan’s moving wedding cake, but I’m going to try again with better gears. (Also on the list of ideas to try: a sterling engine made of rock candy, and a helium-filled fruit leather balloon. I still like the chocolate gears idea best, though.)

My favorite part of camp this summer, though, was the day we spent doing high speed photography. We wandered around for hours trying to find cool phenomena to photograph, and were largely successful. The next day the kids and I made a music video out of their footage. You should check it out, it’s pretty cool:

And now it’s time to catch up on life, since I won’t be working one full time job and two part time jobs all at the same time. This includes better blog posts! Yay! Also sleep, which I am going to go do now…
