JENNIFER NEGALS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
THIS IS SO COOL THIS EXPERIMENT
WE BROUGHT TODAY.
JENNIFER I WANTED TO ASK YOU
FIRST WHY DID IT MAKE SENSE FOR
TONIGHT.
SOMETIME WE'RE THE ONLY SPACES
WHERE PEOPLE ARE CREATIVE
TOGETHER.
CONSUMING NEW SCIENCE AND
RELATION.
WORKING TOGETHER WE HAVE A
COMMON GOAL TO HELP PEOPLE
EXPRESS ANYBODY CREATIVITY.
>> YOU GUYS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED
THAT WITH ALL OF THE PROGRAMS.
ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS MAKER
SPACE.
>> MAKER SPACE IS A PLACE WHERE
PEOPLE COME TOGETHER TO MAKE.
CREATING ART, DIFFERENT
CONSTRUCTI PROJECTS, MAKER
SPACE COMES ABOUT SO PEOPLE CAN
SHARE TOOLS AND EXPERTISE.
THEY CAN TEACH ONE ANOTHER
THINGS THAT THEY KNOW SO THEY
DON'T NEED AN EXPERT.
>> GINA WHY DOES IT MAKE SENSE.
>> IT SHOWS THE SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING BEHIND ART.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THAT
WITH THIS ROBOT.
ALL KINDS OF ACTIVITIES FOR
PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT THE
ARTISTIC PROCESS.
IT'S FUN TO HAVE THAT IN THE
MUSEUM.
WE'RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE
COLLABORATOR.
THE LIBRARIES ART SPACE, AND
OTHERS.

THINGS LIKE TAPE IS YOU CAN
MESS WITH IT AND YOU ASK

CONNECT TO THE GREEN ON THIS
SIDE AND THE WHITE TO THE OTHER.
