The Institute of Making is a multidisciplinary research club for those interested in the made world: from makers of molecules to makers of buildings, synthetic skin to spacecraft, soup to diamonds, socks to cities. Annual membership of the institute is available to all UCL staff and students. Our programme of symposia, masterclasses and public events explores the links between academic research and hands-on experience, and celebrates the sheer joy of stuff. Its mission is to provide all makers with a creative home in which to innovate, contemplate and understand all aspects of materials and an inspiring place to explore their relationship to making. At the heart of the Institute of Making is the Materials Library - a growing repository of some of the most extraordinary materials on earth, gathered together for their ability to fire the imagination and advance conceptualisation. A place in which makers from all disciplines can see, touch, research and discuss, so that they can apply the knowledge and experience gained to their own practice. Alongside the collection is the MakeSpace - a workshop where members and guests can make, break, design and combine both advanced and traditional tools, techniques and materials."

science videos and experiments to do/watch with your kids. cool

A vast, well-indexed resource of how-to videos on just about anything you can imagine.

This is actually in two parts. One shows how to build a reasonable microscope. The second (which seems a bit more fiddly) shows how to build a spectroscope. Minimal costs.

It would be great to see a group evolve from this that shared the multitude of educational uses of cell phones.

Turn your cellphone into a high-powered scientific microscope: http://wrd.tw/eNMLgu

This would be a wonderful way for students to make something beautiful out of all the dirt samples they collect at Thanksgiving. Hopefully I could get an art teacher to partner up with me and do some of the background learning of the Japanese tradition.
