Lily and I are working on her Halloween costume. The original plan was to simply use prepackaged led candles, but they were too yellow, so we modified our design to use pink LED’s instead.
Because it Will Make Things Easier
We’re learning about historical inventions. I asked her why inventions and inventing stuff mattered… “Because it makes things easier.” Over the next few months, we’ll explore in depth, the various inventions in this book, as well as others she happens to find intriguing/asks about.
LED Robots
Today we built two robots and gave them sight! Lily worked on this project as her first project selection from her Tinkercrate and we had a great experience. 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 […]
Circuitry, Electrons, Atoms, and Catfish
A post under development – as we work through her Tinkercrate (Circuits) this week: Today we read through the Tinkerzine, learning about the basics of electrons, the concepts of particles within an atom, the structure and concept of an atom, how electrons behave, the difference between a particle, an atom, and a molecule, and discovered […]
Early Valentine
My sweet one. She “anilated” it to preserve it for us. We mounted it on a raised canvas for our walls.
A New Adventure – Setting Up Victorian
Lily’s grandparents (Papa side) have worked to restore this little doll house for the last two years. My mom found it on the driveway of a neighbor’s house, having been the project of a gentleman that had recently passed, and decided to see if we wanted to give it a go. All we have left […]
Complete Circuits
This morning, Lils and I had the privilege of learning about circuitry, physics, chemistry, and engineering as it relates to batteries. We love it when such specific opportunities present themselves, and take full advantage to learn and explore. We bought a set of little LED candle/lanterns and have begun supplying batteries and setting them up. […]
