3-D Pens
Sessions: Thursday 2F Friday 4A
When people think of 3D printing, they often envision large, expensive machines used in factories or labs. However, there's a more accessible technology for creating 3D objects: 3D pens. They enable users to create three-dimensional objects by hand, without the need for a computer or specialized software, allowing for real-time creation.

Have you ever played a piano by using only bananas? If not, then join me as we look into the world of Makey Makey.
