Keynote: Inspiring the Next Generation ... #bbuzz
summary
A rural program converts a 1965 LJ trailer into a mobile makerspace stocked with 3D printers, a human-sized turntable and an Xbox Kinect to create 1965 LJ trailer turned mobile makerspace demonstrations that drew over 1,000 visitors from a 30,000-person region. Workshops use an Xbox Kinect scans + Tinkercad + MeshLab pipeline to scan, clean, mod and print student 3D selves (prints take ~1–1.5 hours). Two trailers exist, teachers and trained teens run repeatable workshops, costing roughly $7–8k plus sponsor donations.
