About Makedo Toolkit Acainn Togail Cairt-bhùird
'S e seata ath-chleachdaidh de dh'innealan a th' anns an Acainn Makedo airson togail chruthachail le cairt-bhòrd. Tha an acainn a' gabhail a-steach Sàbh-sàbhailte, Scrudriver, aon connector Scru air fhichead agus seachd connectoran Scru XL ann am pocan a ghabhas ath-sheulachadh. Leis na trì seòrsaichean inneil seo, faodaidh clann bho aois ceithir bliadhna cairt-bhòrd a ghearradh, tuill a tholladh agus filltean a cheangal gu tèarainte. Bidh siosaran, lannan agus teip a' cur chrìochan sàbhailteachd is gnìomha air luchd-dèanaimh òga, agus mar sin chaidh an acainn a leasachadh gus na crìochan sin a thoirt air falbh. Faodar cairt-bhòrd a lorgar a thogail na nithean de mheud sam bith, nan aonar no ann am buidhnean, ann an seòmraichean-teagaisg, ionadan-dèanaimh, taighean-tasgaidh agus dachaighean.
About the Duais Platanaim A' Design Award
Tha Makedo Toolkit Acainn Togail Cairt-bhùird air Duais Platanaim A' Design Award a bhuannachadh, aithneachadh ro-urramach a bheirear do dhealbhaidhean a tha dha-rìribh sònraichte, eireachdail agus iongantach. Tha buannaichean Platanaim nam mìorbhailean cruthachaidh, nam fianais air crìochan cruthachalachd inntleachdail, agus a nochdas proifeiseantachd agus sàr-ghèinidh gun choimeas an luchd-dealbhaidh. Thathar an dùil gum bi na dealbhaidhean seo nan obraichean as ainmeile a mhìnicheas bòidhchead ùine, a chuidicheas le sunnd a' chomainn agus a bhrosnaicheas crìochan ealain, saidheans, dealbhaidh agus teicneolais.

- Design Challenge
- Using cardboard as a making material for creative projects is not a new idea. There are however inherent limitations with the use of standard ubiquitous tools such as scissors, blades and tape to craft cardboard. They pose safety risks to the maker and functional limitations on the making itself but more importantly they set limitations on what can be achieved by young makers independent of adult intervention. The focus for this project was therefore in developing tools to empower young makers to work with cardboard safely and intuitively to manifest their ideas from minds eye to 'I made it'.
- Inspiration
- The story behind Makedo is the tale of a designer working from home and having his day punctuated by his children requesting 'props' for their imaginative play. A shield here, a helmet there, possibly a turreted castle with working drawbridge! The desire to support his children to manifest their wild imaginations in the real world (and get some work done!) precipitated a light bulb moment for Paul Justin and Makedo was born. Makedo now empowers kids the world over to create a hackable world of their own making.
Makedo aligns with global shifts in education wherein creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration are integral to learning. Makedo fosters the natural inclination of the child to learn by making and doing. - Operation Flow
- Find some cardboard, grab some Makedo tools and get started. The awesomeness of Makedo is that children learn by doing, creating, experimenting, failing and maybe succeeding but that's not essential. The creations then open the door to imaginative play where the child is protagonist in a hack-able world of their own making. Makedo comes to life in collaborative creative environments such as classrooms, maker spaces, museums and of course homes.
