Holiday Ideas from Table Top Inventing
Wow! Can you believe the holidays are almost here? If you’re like Debby and I, you’re busy with all of those last minute, end of the year details, while trying to figure out what to get for all of your little (or big) makers!
If you need a little help in the idea department, let us make a few suggestions:
- Inspire your young maker by sending them to an Inventor’s Bootcamp in 2015 at our low early bird price! Go to http://ttinvent.com/
bootcampnow for details. - Visit TTI’s Young Inventor’s Supply Shop. You’ll find kits, printers, filament, and more!
- Looking for something different? A cool project book would make an excellent gift! TTI’s Amazon Bookstore has a great collection of hands on project books.
As we look ahead to 2015, Debby and I would be glad to help answer any questions you have about inventing, using 3D printers in the classroom, addressing STEM outcomes with MakerEd, or other Ed Tech issues. Just reply to this email or join us on Thursdays, 4pm PT, 7pm ET in the TTI Educators FaceBook Group for an online chat. Just post that you’ll be able to attend and follow here for meeting info:
This week on the Table Top Inventing Podcast, I have the honor of interviewing Josh Stumpenhorst, the 2012 Illinois Teacher of the Year. Be sure to join us!
Here at TTI, we like anything that involves LED lights, so we’ve collected a few holiday DIY LED projects that you’ll find in the project section. We hope you enjoy them!
Warmest Holiday Wishes,
Steve & Debby Kurti
