Storytelling with Servos

We've been interested in the ways that digital tinkering can connect with personal expression and narrative. Ryan will be leading a workshop on MAKE campus with Jorvon Moss (who makes incredible companion robo-spiders) and Jasmine Florentine (who been experimenting with ticklish paper bots) about storytelling with servo motors.

These two makers have really inspired me over the past months and I can't wait to learn from and with them! There are still spots available to join us live for the session over zoom to tinker with materials, see examples and get a special look at Jorvon's robot workshop.
