Event Description
October: Make n' Take Tuesday: Cut Construct Create
Audience: K-12 Clackamas County teachers
Subject: Integrated
Take rapid prototyping to the next level by combining low-tech structural engineering with high-tech interactive computing! In this hands-on "Make & Take" workshop, K–12 educators will explore how to integrate Chompsaws, Makedo cardboard construction systems, and Makey Makey invention kits into a unified design-and-engineering ecosystem.
What You'll Gain:
3D Structural Fabrication (Chompsaws + Makedo): Learn to pair Chompsaws for fast, precise cuts with Makedo screws and tools for fast, re-usable 3D joinery, hinges, and structural connections without messy glue. Take home a working example for your classroom.
Borrow Interactive Physical Computing (Makey Makey) from our STEAM Lending Library: Transform ordinary cardboard projects into interactive controllers, musical instruments, or scientific models by applying conductive copper tape, foil, and alligator clips connected to Makey Makey.
K–12 Scaffolding & Integration: Discover how to adapt this toolchain for all grade levels—from basic cause-and-effect switch boards in elementary to complex cardboard arcade games, interactive historical maps, and functional assistive technology models in middle and high school.
