DIY. Raspberry Pi. Harvard releases its DIY soft robotics toolkit. Harvard, arguably the most famous Ivy League university on Earth, has a long history of democratization of education; together with MIT and several other elite institutions, they’ve pushed hard to make online learning easy and high in quality.

However, one aspect of learning that’s intrinsically difficult to export from the physical school is the physical lab experiment; universities often invest tens or hundreds of thousands in equipment that makes it possible to apply many of the engineering principles explained in digital textbooks. Today, new technologies and a thriving and energetic DIY fanbase mean that even robotics can be farmed out to the cloud, and Harvard recently released its Soft Robotics Toolkit to help with education and entrepreneurship at every level of society. The guide includes step-by-step tutorials, a library of CAD files for molds of common robot parts, and a linked buyers’ guide so you don’t have to go bargain hunting for every little component.

The Maker movement makes its mark

"With the right motivation and time on your hands, you can now go through your own personal industrial revolution in 90 days, and can launch a company or product within those 90 days," says Mark Hatch. He's CEO of TechShop, a chain of makerspaces that has eight locations throughout the country and plans to expand globally. How is this possible? "The skill level required to produce a usable prototype or usable object has dropped precipitously just in the last five years," Hatch adds.
