Do you manage a makerspace or know someone who does? Do you serve on the board of a maker space? Are you a contributor, passionate parent, able-bodied volunteer? Mayor or local official sensing new jobs and economic development opportunities in the coming microfabrication revolution?  Want to lexpand your makerspace learning programs?

After several years of product development, we're finally poking our heads out like the proverbial groundhog to take a look around. We're positioning for a Indiegogo campaign. We expect to launch in several months. We'll be building buzz as we head to campaign launch. We hope you'll join our voyage of discovery! Please visit regularly, check out our product demos, sign up for our list and be sure to visit us on Facebook. We'd love an opportunity to connect and get acquainted.

Who are we and what do we do? We're a small and dedicated group of instructional designers passionate about the global Maker Movement. We've figured out how to rapidly  design, build and distribute short online for basic shop tool instruction. Our lessons work best in nonformal technical training settings, especially community maker space workshops. We can help turn a two hour hands on workshop into a powerful two week  learning experience. 

Our online lessons, designed in part by expert makerspace workshop instructors will blend with, not replace, essential hands-on training. Short micro-lessons consumed by learners both before and after instructor led workshops creates a proven brain-based "pacing effect" that reinforces (but does not replace) hands-on training, The result is a deeper instructional experience that helps new learners become more comfortable and safe with a particular tool  or machine.

This is not boring corporate elearning. We're inspired by Sesame Street. For example, we use puppets just like Grouch on Sesame Street. And we love the famous Lewis Carroll nonsense poem "The Hunting of the Snark" a classic tale of teamwork, invention and risk. We've adapted and updated Carroll's mythical ship's crew of misfits as they bravely sail on a voyage of discovery for the elusive Snark.

Indeed, physicists have named a recently disovered and elusive particle, the Snark. For good reason! Like many makers, the Snark antiproton is "a peculiar creature, that won't be caught in a commonplace way." Please join us as we sail on  “with infinite humour the impossible voyage of an improbable crew to find an inconceivable creature” 

And, help more makers of all ages, become more comfortable with more tools in the years to come.
