University of Louisville KID Lab
We are a Developmental Psychology research lab interested in what children think about the world around them. We have fun, short games for children ages 4 to 12! Come be a kid scientist and help us do science!
3D Printing for Astrophotography
My project involves 3D modeling and printing customized accessories and parts to facilitate my astrophotography. This type of photography has a steep learning curve, a large part of which is learning the ins and outs of the gear involved. As I advanced further into this field of niche, I realized I needed parts that simply did not exist. I combined my passion for 3D printing with my love for space, and the result was a deep-sky astrophotography setup capable of capturing photos of the planets, lunar / solar eclipses, meteor showers, distant galaxies, and nebulae in our home galaxy with precision. I have since become a Bambu Lab School Ambassador for Ohio University. I host events and travel to maker fairs to help teach how 3D printing can facilitate the pursuit of one’s interests!
The White Squirrel Literary and Arts Magazine
Once a year, our student-led organization designs and publishes a literary magazine showcasing the creative work (poetry, prose, and visual art) of UofL students and other members of the Louisville community. We will be bringing a few past issues of our publication to showcase at Maker Faire!
Sissonic Instruments
I’m a hobbyist luthier working with reclaimed local materials making experimental and exotic instruments from the world over. I’m looking to show off some of my projects, and hopefully connect with other makers in the same sphere and we can learn together!
