One really weird (and mostly fun) collab I’m in is our Space Program — a STEAM project where we + students build a cube-satellite that will orbit our coastline and enable various forms of data collection
Anyway we won the university-wide faculty innovation Award for Student Success

Had such creative fun today at a book sewing / making workshop led up by our Makerspace as part of #BookArtsWeek
Felt so good to fold, rip, draw, brainstorm, mark, make, sew, and weave with paper for a few minutes, plus who doesn’t love an opportunity to brainstorm a manifesto?!
