Overview
Let’s meet at the intersection of art and science! Rotate through a series of three workshops exploring how filmmakers, producers, scientists and engineers use creative thinking to fuel innovation in the arts. Watch the digital fabrication of a working guitar, learn the science behind electrical connectivity and more!
Have fun while gaining first-hand knowledge about careers where imagination fuels technology.
Laser Cutting (presented by Liberty Science Center)
Hear what happens when music collides with engineering and digital fabrication. Participants will have the opportunity to see how guitars are designed, prototyped and built using laser-cutting technology, CAD software and principles of acoustic and artistic design.
Cable Soldering (presented by Rod Shepard of Record High)
Calling future audio engineers and concert producers! This workshop will focus on the art of sound. See the beautiful patterns of a sound wave come to life on a Chladni Plate. Plus, learn how professional cables are made, repaired and tested while exploring the science behind electrical signal flow and connectivity.
3D Printing (presented by Express Newark faculty)
Watch digital ideas transform into physical objects. Explore how 3D printing is revolutionizing live entertainment through the implementation of creativity, engineering and rapid prototyping.
