Electro-whizzes ages 9-ish and up will thrill to this free workshop with Blinkybug creator Ken Murphy, held to celebrate the release of the Blinkybugs book! Ken provides some basic Blinky parts and instruction, and your imagination does the rest.
Blinkybugs are fuzzy, brightly colored, illuminated "insects" that respond to movement by blinking their eyes, teaching kids about electricity and circuitry. Blinkybugs the book is actually a kit containing all the parts for 3 Blinkybugs, plus accessible instructions in a kid-friendly comic book format.
Ken is a San Francisco programmer, artist, musician and tinkerer who has presented Blinkybugs workshops at the Maker Faire, Zeum and the Exploratorium. Come join us for an afternoon of creative play with Ken, your local booksellers, and some blinky bugs!
