Vive le Crochet !!! Vous avez envie de créer mais vous ne savez pas trop par où commencer ? Vous avez des modèles de tricot sous la main mais vous préférez le crochet ? Alors cet article est pour vous ! ! Vous allez pouvoir apprendre à faire d’un modèle de tricot, un modèle exclusif de crochet. Voici les différentes étapes à suivre : A. B. C. D. imaginons que votre échantillon de 10 cm de côté vous donne 23 mailles serrées pour 14 rangs . 10 cm = 14 rangs et 10 divisé par 28 = 0.36 donc 28 cm = 14 divisé par 0.36 =>38.88 soit 39 rangs E. F. G. Vous devez donc diminuer (ou augmenter selon le sens de travail), de 44 mailles sur 12 rangs. Autre méthode : Conseils de dernière minute : Prenez votre temps et n’hésitez pas à faire et à défaire jusqu’ à ce que vous parveniez à ce que vous espériez. Si vous avez des questions ou un soucis, n’hésitez pas à me contacter et vive la création!

Designing a School Makerspace Makerspaces, STEAM labs, and fab labs are popping up in schools across the country. Makerspaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering. A makerspace is not solely a science lab, woodshop, computer lab or art room, but it may contain elements found in all of these familiar spaces. Cardboard construction Prototyping Woodworking Electronics Robotics Digital fabrication Building bicycles and kinetic machines Textiles and sewing Designing a space to accommodate such a wide range of activities is a challenging process. Some schools have chosen to incorporate makerspaces within multiple classroom spaces. Ask the Right Questions Because of the constantly evolving activities that a makerspace accommodates, a flexible design is critical from the outset. What range of subjects will be taught in the space? Which tools are most needed? Who are the kids that will be using the space?
le crochet géant! Bon, vous aviez bien compris, malgré vous peut-être, que nous sommes dans une période crochet . C’est comme ça, ça ne s’explique pas, c’est l’air du temps… Et dans la grande tendance CROCHET il y a une niche encore plus chouette: le crochet géant . C’est beau et spectaculaire. (photos trouvées sur Pinterest) Pour le crochet géant , c’est bon, le sourcing est désormais accessible, chez brutalux (clique) : si vous avez envie de vous y mettre, voici quelques pistes pour commencer (avant le tapis, plus ardu): les cols rapides et graphiques, les corbeilles et les poufs… pour les corbeilles voir ce blog par exemple : En ce qui concerne les poufs, voici ce que j’ai réalisé récemment, en crochetant en même temps 3 grosses pelotes (pour ce pouf de 70cm de diamètre il faut 15 pelotes) au crochet n°20. et enfin le plus facile et le plus rapide, les cols, il suffit de 3 pelotes de laine n°6. Il faut monter 25 mailles puis crocheter un tube en mailles serrées.
NOVA - Official Website | School of the Future School of the Future PBS Airdate: September 14, 2016 NARRATOR: Children: our most valuable resource; in a rapidly changing world, how are we preparing them for the future? LINDA DARLING-HAMMOND (Learning Policy Institute Stanford University): Our kids are going to have to work with knowledge that hasn't been discovered yet, on technologies that haven't been invented yet. NARRATOR: How can schools today help students of all backgrounds meet the challenges of tomorrow? LINDA DARLING-HAMMOND: Inequality in the United States is our Achilles' heel. SAL KHAN (Khan Academy): We want a world where, regardless of where you are born, you have got an equal shot. NARRATOR: Can science help us find a way to give all children an equal shot? PAMELA CANTOR (Turnaround for Children): We shouldn't be asking kids to beat the odds. NARRATOR: Today's researchers are peering into the brain, trying to unlock the secrets of how children learn.

Simple Longboard Last year my 13-year-old daughter asked for a skateboard, so I gave her my 20-year-old board (which wasn’t seeing much use). She liked to ride it along the bank of the Los Angeles River, and I would ride with her on a Razor scooter. But after a while, I started to miss having a skateboard, and I thought it would be fun to make one. I put it off for a few months, until I saw a video of Lloyd Kahn, the well-known maker and former geodesic dome guru, cruising down a gently sloped street (makezine.com/go/kahn). I went online to look for plans. Here’s how I did it.
Let It Glow Holiday Cards Favorited Favorite 11 Introduction Craft a glowing card for friends and family this holiday season with paper circuits - no soldering required! This tutorial will guide you through how to create simple paper circuitry using only copper tape, a coin cell battery, a LilyPad Button Board, and an LED, and it will leave you with a basic understanding of how circuits work. Paper engineer and pop up book designer Robert Sabuda allowed us to adapt some of his free templates for use with electronics. We'll be covering the electronics build in this tutorial and linking to Robert's instructions for the pop up cards. Why Aren't We Soldering? You may have seen Nick's awesome Father's Day Card tutorial and are wondering why this one is different. Suggested Reading If you are brand new to working with electronics, here's some helpful reading to check out: Materials and Tools Here is a list of all the materials and tools you'd need to follow along: A note on LEDs: Step 1: Print Templates Line A Line B Line C
(Rethinking) Makerspaces Kids have always made in my library. We encouraged digital and visual and dramatic and rhetorical creativity before, during, and after school. But for a while, I’ve questioned the value of using already heavily used real estate to randomly carve out space for a 3D printer, electronics stations and sewing machines. I had my doubts about the makerspace movement in school libraries. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to chat with Amos Blanton, project manager of the Scratch online community, and a member of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT Media Lab. On his profile Amos notes: I design and sustain creative learning environments for people with agency. Amos makes the case for makerspaces as powerful, authentic, relevant learning experiences, and for when and why library may be the very right space to create a makerspace. Here’s the video of our chat and a few of key points to consider before adopting a maker culture for libraries Amos’ key points:
Вязаный коврик из футболок и остатков пряжи (яркий и необычный способ) В каждом доме найдутся старые или ненужные вещи, которые тем не менее рука не поднимается выбросить. А у рукодельниц к тому же есть еще масса остатков - обрезки тканей, маленькие моточки пряжи... Я предлагаю вам связать из всего этого яркие и оригинальные коврики. В моих ковриках я использовала старые футболки и остатки яркой пряжи. Итак, нарежьте футболки (мне понадобилось 3 штуки на один коврик) или обрезки тканей на полоски шириной не меньше 2 см. Крючок тоже можно взять любого размера. Сверните из ленты колечко: В это колечко провяжите столбики без накида. Вязание по кругу - вывязываем обычный плоский круг. Мы работаем только с нитью! Когда лента заканчивается, нужно присоединить следующую. Или вставить одну в другую: В обоих случаях всё равно будут торчать хвостики. Так вяжем до желаемого размера коврика или пока футболки с пряжей не закончатся.
