Playing with Engineering
summary
Playful methods produce measurable outcomes: undergraduate labs build publishable sensors from Makey Makey and motion capture, convert circuits into squishy circuits (a company and curriculum using conductive Play‑Doh), run dynamics experiments on flying trapezes and a German wheel, and assemble a global music project via OK Go Sandbox that gathers 15,000 contributors and mailed postcard frames (some flown with Blue Origin) into five finished animations and songs — messy process, but it works.
