This post is cross posted from my Childhood Revered site We educate our daughter independently, in a manner that is driven by her curiosity and interests. This method works beautifully because it inspires, encourages, and ignites her (and us), it also requires relevance be at the root of our activities, which means […]
Division and Divisons of Devised and Designated Digits, With Some Knots Included
She’s inventing a new kind of knitting, it’s called, ‘”The Freedom Knit” because you can make it up yourself. You can do it however you want; whatever way you can find that works.” She’s making me something super soft. Images posted in reverse order of completion

LED Robots

She and I read through the directions, she assembled the components, and we set to work placing resistors, LED’s, and copper taping in a pattern on a printed […]
Minecraft Ore Light
