 I'm in the exhibit hall and there are two really interesting exhibits to look at. So first we'll check out 3D Doodler at 3DDoodler.com and you can see some of the things that are made with this 3D doodling pen. Let's go around here. It's a busy booth because it's a really neat thing. So these are printed with this pen that whatever junk is in there like hardens really fast so you can doodle with it. Hello. Do you mind being recorded? Can you tell me about this? So this is the 3D Doodler, the world's first 3D drawing pen. This is our second generation pen that we just introduced at the beginning of this year. It's 75% smaller. It's easier to use. It uses less power so we now have accessories like our jet pack which allows you to do 2-3 hours of the pen anywhere. So what we're actually here at ISC doing is introducing our EDU bundle which is 12 pens, 5 nozzle sets because you can actually change the nozzle on the pen and swap it to a thinner, thicker nozzle. We also have 12 stands that hold the pen, the 12 power packs, 2 jet packs, 1,200 strands of plastic and all for $1,000. So and you get everything. We also have a whole bunch of STEM curricular material that's available on our website for free. It will always be free as the CEO of LavaWorks. I guarantee that we will never charge for this. We do pay teachers to write this material so it is good material and we welcome other teachers to submit material and we will share that material also for free because we're all about growing this community. Is grant writing time and we're hoping to actually get some stuff up on our page to help write grants because it's a new medium, it's a new thing, we know like how the heck do you describe it. So I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks we'll have some grant material up there. It's like suggested grants and example grants. So what happens in the hands of kids when they have the pen? A lot of things happen in the hands of kids. I mean not only can you like bling out your old school calculator and make it cooler but you know you can make like anatomy. You can make a cool bus. My personal favorite. This is an ATA. And you know it moves. So you have the head moving and the legs. How long does it take to make something like that? This took about two hours and this was done freehand. We have stencils so over 200 stencils online. They're just PDF files. You print them out. So for example like the bus. This is all done on flat pieces of paper. It's then peeled off of the paper and then you use the 3Doodler to join all the pieces together. So like something like this is about 15 to 20 strands of plastic. It'll take you two to three hours to really get it together. But something smaller. So for example this is my wallet. Of course. I 3Doodled this. That's the verb 3Doodled. Yeah I 3Doodled it. And it took me about 30 minutes to 3Doodle that. And then let me find my iPhone case. This iPhone case was done in about 45 minutes. This is six months old. This is eight months old. And these live inside my pocket on a daily basis. So you can make really durable materials out of this. And we have ABS, PLA and Flexi. And each of these materials has different properties. The PLA gives you a nice wet glossy look. So you can kind of see like the head of this dragon boat. It's like very wet and glossy. The ABS gives you a more dull look. But it's a little bit stronger material wise. It's not as brittle. And then the Flexi as its name would suggest is a flexible material. So which is what the wallet is made out of. There's not a conference code but there's a teacher's code. So if you contact us and demonstrate you have like an EDU email address your library or something like that will give you a 15% off code. So you can buy anything in our retail store for 15% off. Plastics, pens, tubes of plastic, whatever you want. The EDU bundle is already discounted. So there's no discount code applied to that. But it's a thousand dollars and it's everything you need for an entire like classroom. 12 pens and all the plastic and stuff like that. And it's less than the cost of a 3D printer. Do you use a different nozzle for each material type? You do not. You do have a setting on the side of the pen. So we have like a high low setting. And then the colors that it has indicates the color. So PLA and wood filament have a green. If I turn it up to high, give it a moment and it will go blue. And that means it's a high temp plastic. So ABS and Flexi. And then we have more filaments coming out throughout the year. So like I mentioned wood, which is a 20% fill of pine with a PLA substrate. So you can sand it, you can stain it. You can just use it for like amazing things. Anything you use wood for. So I guess you can go and you can just print something. But are the best ones you have? You said you had some plans or stencils that you can do. Or how do people, like when you're doing a tower like that, it's a stencil? So this is a stencil. So each of the layers was done independently on a flat piece of paper and then joined together. Yeah. This was done freehand. This is done stencil. So it's just all done on a flat piece of paper, peeled the pieces off, joined them together. Anything else you want teachers to know about this? We have our curriculum material I mentioned, yes. We have STEM curriculum material. You get to do the same talk a lot of times, don't you? Getting in a loop, I know. Other than that, I mean, we've done a bunch of case studies and I encourage teachers to read the case studies that are freely available on our website as well. And those case studies are demonstrating things that we weren't expecting. A lot of teachers that have used it have suggested that it helps to eliminate the gender gap in STEM education because of the visual learners and the non-visual learners, and it actually internalizes what you're learning. So we're very excited about that possibility and we want it to really hopefully do that so that we can like see, like we can change the whole way education happens. Somebody had a question. How long did the tower take? I don't know. I know I can give you these. The wallet took me 30 minutes. The iPhone case took me 45 minutes. The heart took around 30 to 40 minutes. So the big question is, do you have a Liberty Bell? We do not have a Liberty Bell, I know. There's a request then, make a Liberty Bell. It was a request. We've been... Where's my Liberty Bell? I'm sorry. Lewis, where's my Liberty Bell? Yes, still making it. This is a great demo of articulated stuff that you can do. So like that's a fully... And you can imagine like you can add string to this and you know make an actual like robotic hand or something. You could make potentially prosthetic at fractions of the cost of, even what it costs to 3D print it. What age of students is this great for? So we really recommend it for high school at this point. We have other versions coming out later on that are for younger ages. The real concern is this is a very hot metal tip. So it's the same rules as a hot glue gun or a soldering iron. So you know, 14 plus on those things. I know, I want to use it with my two and a half year olds but I guess I'll have to wait. Yes, you'll have to wait about a year. Thanks for sharing. This is really exciting and it's at 3Ddoodler.com or 3Doodler, no 2Ds, yeah. Thank you. So that's the 3Doodler. Oh, he's wearing some glasses made of that too. Really neat. Look him up online. I bet they have videos and stuff. I don't know about the internet going out at Isti. It's been really bad here. So I'm using my Verizon connection because I just can't depend on that. But let's go over here and look at little bits electronics. Hello, do you mind being recorded? All right, you're live on the internet. So people might ask you questions and they would like to know about little bits. And would you like mind holding the microphone? Hello, internet world. We're at Isti. This is a little bit smooth. We are a company that creates electronic building blocks that lower the barrier of entry for STEM and STEAM. And it's really a tool that can be used K through university. We have kids as young as kindergarten who are using them to understand grammar to work on their fine motor skills. We have people in elementary school who are using them to do simple projects like understanding bioluminescence, making create projects that they hack their house and add lights and sensors and motors into their high tech 21st century home. All the way through middle school you can do programming and coding with your Arduino module. And the benefit is that you don't have to solder or wire any of the components unless you want to. So it's really just a language of technology that kids can use for whatever it is that they're making or learning. So how can it help kindergarteners learn grammar? So we've seen people use little bits to mimic parts of a sentence. So they'll use the blue power bit as an adjective and a green bit as an adverb and in order to snap them the right way they have to get the sentence right and then the circuit turns on. It's a little... So you program in what order things go should go in before they get done? I'll give you a simple demo and then it'll make sense. So blue is power, green are output. I need to hold the microphone for you then. You want to show people. Blue is power, green is output. So just like that you can have a light or a motor, or you can start using the number bit to use data collection or you can switch it to volts and actually see how the electricity is running through your circuit. And if you wanted to add a control such as a pressure sensor now just with the touch of your finger you can change the amount of electricity that's flowing through your circuit. So you can imagine how you could use this both inputs such as sensors or switches, simple on and off switch or you can use a dimmer. And then orange or wire. So if you do start building projects these are great for project-based learning. Say you wanted to create a flashlight so you could turn it on here and your light could be on the front of the product here. So people want to know about the cost and that there's a starter kit and all that. Do you want to show them this? So we offer a 15% discount for educators. Our three main collections are catered for educators depending on how many students you're working with and what you want to do. If you just want to dip in and do a choice time activity the students that's great for four to eight students. The worked-up set is great especially if you're starting in third or fifth grade it's five, excuse me, ten sets of ten modules so you could do a structured activity or lesson with all of your students and these are things like buttons which is things that are foundational in the system and aren't going to be too delicate with a lot of hands using them. The pro library is our biggest collection. It comes with this wall-mounted unit and three Taco Bells. Yes and we're giving away the pro library today so if anyone's at ISTI stop by and get your bad skin. Oh no! Well come on down. But everything is available on our website and we do we have about 400 universities who are using it, over 2,000 schools everything from formal to informal learning so it's totally adaptable and kids have a blast. So you showed us, I guess something relatively simple down here what's one of the most complex things you've seen with little bits? The complexity definitely happens when you start adding the programming into your circuit so we've seen it in some amazing Arduino projects we also have this cloud module that connects to the internet so you can start making IoT devices so I've seen one of the best projects I've seen was a mother and son in Tokyo who made a home alarm device and they added music and there was a buzzer when the kid, there was a pressure sensor when the kid opened the door it would sound in the house and they made a video for us and at the end it said you can save your family! That's awesome! But a lot of what we do especially on the e-commerce side is we don't want people to just buy products for one sole purpose when you can create your own and really cater solutions to meet your own life They go together similar to Legos but they can do so much more and they have functionality and the system set up so once you have that foundational knowledge you can build upon it we're really lowering the barrier of entry to all these different subjects so music, we have a synth kit we have a keytar over there where you can create your own instruments we have a collaboration with NASA Science and Earth and Space Science and of course this is perfect for anything that involves design or art or things where you really want to incorporate electronics in a new way and so anybody else have questions? there's like 29 people watching give her some hearts some little bits hearts there are always like a few seconds there they are there'll be more, there they go these are joining us virtually yeah this is really neat to see projects and lessons online too if you want to see what the community is making we also have a global chapters program so if you have a workshop or an event space and you just want people to understand electronics and make and build with them it doesn't have to be scary it's a blast thanks for sharing okay when I go to some of these vendors they say oh get your name tags scanned they don't understand if you're not there Tom is the place, I think that's their website at Little Bits is their Twitter handle and they go together and I'm really excited so I don't know maybe I can get my two and a half year olds doing some little bits somehow question what is my YouTube channel? I think I'm Tony Vincent123 or 321 on YouTube I should know this better shouldn't I go to learninginhand.com and click live broadcast from Isti and scroll to the bottom and there's my YouTube videos there so then you can find the username there's six videos currently there from yesterday some archive periscopes and as long as when I stop broadcasting here in a moment it saves my camera roll I'll put this one up on to YouTube also but otherwise you can rewatch for 24 hours before it expires from periscope so oh thanks Tony Vincent123 is my YouTube channel very really creative name I know you are very much welcome I'm glad that I can make you a part of Isti so we'll see you later
