Circuits in Play-Doh
Wednesday, May 25, 2022 - 9:00 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: Nile
THAT TX Family is going to be different from previous THATs, in ways we haven't even guessed yet. So I don't expect the old format for Circuits in Play-Doh to translate straight over, but in fact, my *original*-original concept was a self-directed play session with different challenges and components set at stations around a big room. And now the conference is going to be in my back yard, so as facilitator and Bringer of Blinky Bits, I have more flexibility (and luggage space). I have oodles of batteries and LEDs, plus many years of offering and observing the Play-Doh Circuits workshop at THAT and other venues, and I am ready to jump in, be useful, get creative, collaborate with THAT organizers, and bring whatever format of gleeful Makering that we think will work at THAT TX in 2022.
