In an era where it’s easy for tweens to zone out in front of the screen of their choice, an 11 year-old California girl is making the choice to be on the screen ... teaching a global audience how to make cool things.
I MUST ask that you visit Sylvia's Super Awesome Maker Show. Now. Sylvia is truly the coolest nine-year-old around...
...Sylvia uses puppetry, theme music and her home as a laboratory to demonstrate how things work. She makes science fun, mostly by having fun herself.
I want more people to become less focused on success, and more on just trying new things outside their comfort zone.
So there was this kid in the US who decided to make stuff with her Dad. And they put it on YouTube. And almost immediately it went viral. Then millions of kids across the world started making stuff again. How super awesome.
She handed me a cute business card with robots she drew on it... I watched episode 1. It's super awesome!
...the video’s directorial style is so fine it makes Rushmore-era Wes Anderson look like a hobo. Just sayin’.
With the poise, wit and clarity of a seasoned television host, Sylvia explains the electronic principles of light–emitting diodes, resisters, potentiometers, grounds and compiling the program you download to create a strobe light.
And you, young Sylvia, we will watch your career with great interest. Wait, that’s a creepy Palpatine quote, that’s not what we mean...
