How do we share tools, materials, time and ideas so that people working together accomplish more than the would working alone? (This applies to people working on their own projects or on team projects) That question has organized this week.

Focus on a classic challenge each day. (We have drawn inspiration from some of the most creative workshops in the world.) Start with common materials that you can master and assemble in an hour. And then find your own way with as much or a little support as you like.

•. Construct a tiny marble pump. Circulate small steel marbles through ramps, switches and jumps that you design. Link pumps to circulate marbles round a table, or perhaps around the whole workshop? Inspired by the brilliant Japanese designer, Denha.
• Rocket Day ­– use model rockets to celebrate the power of science fiction to anticipate invention. Construct and test rockets powered by water, air


• Mutant Vehicles: Burning Man is a festival that brings together wildly creative spirits in the Nevada desert. The Festival includes Mutant Vehicles, machines hacked into playful identities. Start with a tiny battery powered chassis and invent something different.
