The Duct Tape Network (DTN) is a series of fun, hands-on maker workshops that encourage young children (ages 8-11) to use cardboard, tape, wood, fabric, LED lights, motors, and more to bring their stories and inventions to life. We are designing an educational framework and toolkit to engage kids in the creation of things that they care about before they lose their curiosity or get pulled in by more consumer-oriented technology. DTN workshops include team challenges and tinkering time.
