One of K-bao's favorite summer camps this summer has been Galileo, which she attended for several weeks. The sessions are cleverly referred to by the sponsoring company as "Innovation camps." This last session was entitled Galileo Makers, and even K-pop had to admit that there were some solid-looking, hands-on projects being conducted by the little ones.
Among the interesting contraptions K-bao brought home was this finely decorated cardboard stool.
"The 'booty butt' is the secret piece that enables anyone to sit on it without it breaking," explains K-bao seriously.
"See? Tadaaa!"
More impressive, perhaps, were a couple of gadgets that required real motors and batteries, and that actually worked. One was a low-power vacuum cleaner that can suck up any stray cotton balls that are cluttering up the floor; the other, a spooky night light.
This one below is a fully functional "Grabber" that actually has a moving arm that can be manipulated by pulling a string on the side.
There were sundry other projects that she explained with enthusiasm - most of which involved cardboard and tape. All in all, despite these various camps costing an arm and a leg, K-bao generally appears to enjoy herself, and takes some pride in her creations. Hopefully the seed of a little Edison or Marie Curie is being planted in that little head...and then it will all have been worth it.
