Blows my mind into a place of creative urgings.I investigated this fascinating art/engineering further and found a video on Ted talks, you can visit it also at http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/162 The inventor described in some detail the workings of these machines including the brains of the "animals" which are binary step counters. Now could you think of a better way to teach math to a child.(no matter what their age may be)This is something that we have to offer to student artists to see what they come up with. I would really like to play with all this also.Personally I could create something that would "walk over the water". That could capture even the sunday school crowd for sure. Now that I know what to save all my scrap conduit for besides wind chimes, my mind is off to the races!
Keep those "creative juices" flowing! More You Tube videos (15) are available AFTER this video plays (simply click-on them in the displayed menu at the bottom).
Best,

P.S. WHAT would this student-centered Studio-Laboratory look like at the MI STEM CENTER?
Here is a comment I made on students 2.0 blog in regards to that question. I say that because operations in the MI STEM Center will take place globally with one foot so to speak being connected thru the web in virtual reality and to some extent the outcomes will manifest in the STEM Center. This somewhat follows Lindsey's idea made in the post "Youth Net" on 2.0 where artists can collaborate by adding component parts of a project online and having these funneled thru a portal to where some person(s) would bring together the ideas to reality or at least to it's fruition. The Posted comment: You folks have a handle on making the changes needed to create not only great learning opportunities but you bring with those ideas the energy and the reality that this is a 24/7/365 endeavor not to be confused with the learning in the silo education. I really like the concept of creating the virtual meeting place for various people to bring their ideas to and have someone or a group of people manifest the idea into a formative structure. How might you envision similar wind powered machines to the ones shown in this video be manifested in that type of a scenario? Check it out @ http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/162 If you don’t mind a little interactive blogging perhaps people could also comment about this on one of our blogsites @ http://www.sendenergy.blogspot.com Please keep up the great work. You are pioneering the way to a much better world than you were born in!
So anyway the MI STEM Center will have laboratories replete with video conferencing capabilities and of course tools to build things with including test stands etc.The paricipants will be able to enter shop class form anywhere on the planet and help build the outcome. They also can visit shop anytime to study what has taken place and to add to the body of science.Somehow they will be able to enter a virtual reality to heighten their awareness of interacting physically with the project. Makes sense?

JimB:
Outstanding commentary and alignment to vision-purpose. However, I believe you mean Student Studio-Labs when you refer to shop class.
We are beginning to gain more critical-mass as we speak.
More to come as events unfold this week.
Best,
Jim
Hmmm... Yes, student studio labs are definately betterly descriptive.
