TechHive Studio

Final day for prototypes

The bots are coming together

On Halloween, Tech Hive visited Ghost Golf, where we were able to learn about animatronics from an experienced professional.

Look forward to more animatronics to come!

If you are interested in being an intern, please visit the techhivestudio.org website in December to apply for the following sessions in Winter & Spring.

Cardboard prototyping with Hummingbird Kits @birdbraintech by @berkeleyscience Hall TechHive teens and staff led to a second Robot Petting Zoo in Oakland!  A great way to end the school year.

These ordinary banker boxes have been transformed into the Cardboard Robot Theater!  Public visitors at the Lawrence Hall of Science got a MakerFaire preview of the working prototypes by TechHive teens. 

TechHive teens working on more paper robotic prototypes in the lab and testing with public audiences in preparation for a Makeathon and MakerFaire.

Happy Cal Day! With help from PhD candidate Aidin Fathalizadeh and NISE Network’s Frank Kusiak, TechHive interns helped to explain and facilitate nanotechnology demonstrations using graphene, balloons filled with different extracts, and nitinol wire (commonly found in teens’ brace and retainers!)

TechHive interns get a behind the scene tour of Autodesk’s Pier 9 Workshop in SF. Big shout out to Keith Chamberlain, Louisa Holland, and Samuel’s mom Jodi Levin for making this happen. In complete swinging 3D awe!  

3D printing on space shuttles, leukemia-targeted nanostructures, glow-in-the-dark trees, smart design software, and the future of synthetic biology – Autodesk CTO Jeff Kowalski inspires teen interns to think beyond “what and how” to questions of “why” and “should we?”
