Meet Lance Akiyama, The Duct Tape Engineer. He's a curriculum developer at Galileo Learning, an innovation summer camp that inspires the next generation of innovators through hands-on science and engineering projects. In this video, he demonstrates how easy it is to build a geodesic dome with a simple material and a big imagination.
Want to see more from Lance? His new book, Duct Tape Engineer, will show you how to design, sculpt, and build backpacks, kayaks, catapults, and queen-size beds out of duct tape in your own backyard. Get your own copy here: amzn.to/2kKACB3
ARE YOU A DUCK TAPE® MAKER™?
You know one of them. It might be your mom. Or a teacher. Or a friend. It might be the person you see in the mirror. That person who just gets things done. That person who just creates something – a craft, a project, a repair – seemingly out of thin air. These are the Makers. They dream it. They do it. From repairs and crafts to science projects and kids activities, count on the Makers to find a way that has the rest of us wondering, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
Some Makers aren’t just making. They’re exploring. They’re pushing the boundaries of science … and their imaginations. They could need a quick robot repair for before the next round of the interschool competition. Perhaps the model for the final Cities of the Future presentation needs just a bit more flash – or stability. And when you provide loads of useful, versatile, low-tech tools that help brilliant minds of all ages get to the next level of high tech? That fires everyone’s imagination.
INSPIRE. IMAGINE. CREATE.
