summer of making part 3

I winded down my adventure-filled summer with a fun week creating 12 art bikes at CAMP 510.  The kids all drew up their individual ideas, presented them to their group, and then voted.  From giraffes,  zebras and purple ducks, to gardens and oceans, to lots of rainbows, the designs were amazing.

We scavenged materials - including fur, fake grass, duct tape, spray paint, buttons and butterflies.
We glued, painted, wired, snipped and cut.  Wheels were removed, decorated, and reinstalled.  It was great to see all the creativity in the assembly process.  The kids were so dedicated to building, making, and bringing their ideas to fruition - very inspiring.

And some amazing creations turned out, along with great matching helmets.  Come see them at this year's East Bay Mini Maker Faire!
