From the Wonderful Idea Co. Tinkering World Tour, I discovered other beautiful worlds of tinkering and creative practices. It is one of the best uses of remote meetings I've ever experienced. It was an honor and a lot of fun to make these illustrated notes! :)

Today I had a pleasure to attend to Andreas Refsgaard's talk and discuss about creative machine learning, provoking and silly ML projects, and inspiring design processes.
You can check Andreas' amazing work here:

And here are my illustrated notes:

I was in awe when @birdturntable shared his work in our Cabaret Mechanical Theatre + Wonderful Idea Co. automata workshop series. I was inspired by the wave-powered machine and the use of sound and turn tables in installations. Here are my illustrated notes of the talk :)

If someone is curious about how I created the nose drawing project, here is Scratch Team's official video on how to use the Face Sensing blocks!

This is so cool! I feel the urge to populate my living room with whimsical micro:bit projects 😍

The full illustrations I did for Chrome for #BlackHistoryMonth !

It was so inspiring to know more aboout Fi Henshall's work and shop (that is in a boat!). Another amazing guest artist in the online automata workshop by Cabaret Mechanical Theatre + Wonderful Idea Co.!!

Here is a great video of Fi's work and also my illustrated notes :)
