“Really impressive.  So that’s what you’re going to do for Kodacell, make these things out of recycled toys?”

-Suzanne

“Nope, not quite.  That’s just for starters.  The Elmos are all about the universal availability of cycles and apparatus.  Everywhere you look, there’s devices for free that have everything you need to make anything do anything.”

-Lester

My observations from our first 3d lab session are much like Suzanne’s when first being introduced to Perry and Lester’s creative process.  I found myself amazed at all the different ideas and creative energy in the room.  After the first creation, a whole world of possibilities opened up and one by one students began to realize that they had the ability to make anything, spin it around on a computer screen with the flick of a mouse and then turn their design into something tangible by way of a 3d printer.  So, no…these Makers won’t  just be making coins out of fermented corn, this is just the beginning to everything and anything.
