Each mashup will include a round of quick-fire-style video/slideshow presentations and a 1.5 hour experimental stop-motion workshop in which participants will explore ideas alongside the designers.

Workshop: Bittertang - ‘Juicy, sweet, colorful, frothy and maybe a bit charred’... Bittertang will be leading an exploration of viscerally satisfying materials.
Workshop: SOFTLab - ‘temporary vs permanent’ ...SOFTLab will be playing with green screens and images constructed over time.
Workshop: Volatile Matter - ‘Cinematic catalysis 2: the found + the constructed – merging found footage with narrative and material form, and exploring montage & editing.’

MakerBot Make-A-Thon // Experience Cutting-Edge Rapid Prototyping

MakerBot Make-A-Thon
Saturday, May 14th, 2:00 - 6:00 pm
195 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn NY
FREE

The MakerBot Thing-O-Matic is 1) a modern manufacturing breakthrough, and 2) also a lot of fun.

The 3rd Ward MakerBot Make-A-Thon is your chance to see these tiny factories in action, print awesome 3D objects and even a 3D portrait of yourself. 

MakerBot Artist-in-Residence Kyle McDonald will be presenting his work turning the Xbox Kinect into a 3D Scanner.  He will scan you in his 3D Photo Booth, then print you using the MakerBot. 

The Makerbot prints anything up to 4”x5”x5” with ABS and PLA (biodegradable) plastic. All you do is hit print, and the machine does all the work. Print 100 butterflies, an entire chess set -- anything! And see a 9 foot-wide geodesic dome, printed entirely on the MakerBot.

Learn more about the MakerBot and the 3rd Ward Make-A-Thon in The New York Times here.

Plus, win prizes from MakerBot, Apress Books, and MAKE Magazine!

RSVPs are required at http://www.3rdward.com/rsvp
