What inspired you to make this project?
I love figuring out how things work and want to expose others to the personal satisfaction that that can offer. While high tech has certainly improved lives in countless ways, it offers precious little opportunity to figure out what's going on behind the screens. Seeing the expression of an "Aha!" moment wash over someone's face while playing around with my exhibit is pretty cool.
