The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects, connect with others, and make an impact on the world.

Here they documented their hand-sewn kites, plywood boards, and other general mayhem that happens when PhDs and high winds collide.
