Prototyping Puppets: Combining Craft and Performance

Info about the Project

We combine craft and performance art to teach early middle school students basic prototyping skills. We develop informal STEM workshops for puppetry that combine narrative framing, craft-inspired building, and performance. This key approach combines craft, art, and basic hardware prototyping to attract new audiences to STEM. It is a collaboration between Georgia Tech and at the Center for Puppetry Arts funded by the NSF.
