Insignia96This is what happens when Makers have children. The result is kind of scary, but awesome. This kid will likely go to a great college and do very well. I wasn't able to build this kit until I was 11, and I still haven't ever gotten it to smoothly program.
MARSHOMEWORLDSylvia= WIN!
philipkoo2This kid is awesome, especially if she can use Linux and solder.
89HuskerThis wasn't so bad actually. It's a cool project. :)
hacktheplanet90all school children should watch these videos

melancholyidYou know, you see so much stupidity out there that it disenheartens you to the point of depression. Then you see something like this, and it renews your hope for humanity and its intelligence.
I really needed to see this.

dummerbubeThe first maker-video in a very long time that I liked
fenixzI thought I was pretty smart... until I stumbled upon this kid's videos.
belisariusorbI notice quite a few comments from parents saying they'd rather buy a toy or a pet than spend time doing this with their kids. Try it! Remember your own childhood? What do you remember most, your favourite toys or the times you spent with your parents doing something fun?
And you might find it's a lot more fun than football games on the TV.
khisanth75Jeri Ellsworth has a rival in the making!
SkidTheSamuraiI am thoroughly amazed. All of the girls at my old high school would avoid the engineering and programming classes like the plague. In fact I can only think of maybe three who were actually interested in engineering from the FIRST team I was on.
sparkybaz77Shes more intelligent then some of the 50 year old engineers i work with, no joke.
niceguypantsContinued thanks to Sylvia and the Ninjas for fun videos, inspiring young makers. Keep up the great work!

Wakeupsilver (Jay Silver)Hi, I love the whole rundown on Drawdio, especially the part where you explore the kitchen sink, the plant, and the water on the counter. But I think honestly my favorite part is the intro song. You are so you, and I love it!
mpgorilla66Great job. I think you have a wonderful future ahead of you. I can't wait to build one for myself. I'll use it to annoy my cats.
dotguyazSylvia's first show was "awesome" enough to get me to order a Drawdio kit of our own. It's going to be project #1 for me and my son this summer vacation. Cool.
Matt J (from the LHS & howtosmile booth)Love the video Sylvia - and your maker attitude. I'm inspired! Keep on exploring and we'll see you at Maker Faire 2011 - or at the Lawrence Hall of Science. p.s. -- Your cards are brilliant!
drummboIf I ever have a daughter, I want her to be JUST LIKE YOU. Sylvia, it will impossible for you not to win at life.
bcatdcOK Sylvia. First off you ARE super awesome. Second I'm in my late 20s and have been wanting to do my first robotics project. I was afraid of soldering things and not knowing how to do it. Your show just gave me a lot of courage. If you can be a maker I feel like I can too. Keep up the good work.
markmadeTheme song rules.
IixdotbeI found you via Boing Boing. You have a bright future ahead of you. Keep up the good work and congratulations on your show. You're going to be a hit.
