Build a pocket panpipe: Exploring intersections between music and engineering

Come learn about music engineering by building your own instrument. We’ll teach you the basics of how a panpipe makes sound and how to achieve different notes in a musical scale, and you’ll get to select your materials and build an instrument to play a tune of your choice. You can tailor your workshop experience to your interests by exploring different tuning systems, mouthpiece and assembly designs, methods of playing, or recording and analysis. This workshop is for everyone, whether you’re interested in music, engineering, or both!

Historical Asian Stamp Making and Contemporary Technologies: A DDS Community Skillshare

Join us for a hands-on workshop connecting the historical craft of stamp making in Asian cultures – especially prominent in stone and wood carvings for seals or decorative arts in China, Japan, and Southeast Asia – to modern patterns and technologies. 

In this workshop, led by Briana Chen A'29, participants will explore the histories and practice of Asian patterns in block printmaking, learn to make their own stamp pattern in Adobe Illustrator, and see how a laser engraver can bring their design to life. All are welcome to attend.
