Making After Hours at the Science Museum
by Kate Iverson on Apr.02, 2011, under Off the Beaten Path
High-tech nerds and futuristic dreamers are encouraged to make their way to the Science Museum this Thursday night to learn a thing or two from kinetic sculpture artist, David Bowen. Bowen will show you how to make a machine
that responds to light and sound sensors and will introduce you to the Pico Cricket, and education-friendly micro-controller.

A pro at crafting interactive works that react to their environment, Bowen’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including Artbots: the robot talent show at the Eyebeam Atelier in New York, NY and a group exhibition at Pasadena Museum of California Art curated by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. David will fill you in on his work with a brief presentation then lead a hands-on workshop. Micro-controllers will be available for use, not to take home.
Making After Hours is a series of art, technology, and engineering workshops for adults (18+) that takes place once a month from February through August. The workshops include an introduction led by a guest artist, materials and technology you can use in your project, and a great atmosphere for “making” after work.
Thursday, April 7th / 6:30-8pm / $18 ($15 for Science Museum members)
Workshop designed for beginners. Reserve a seat now by calling (651) 221-4511. Last minute admission at the door is $18—exact change only.
