đšđ„Some people teach children to be careful. Weâre teaching ours to be capable.
It felt great to get them out to @themakercamp hammer-in and experience in-person, hands-on, real-world making!
In todayâs times of convenience, automation, and AI, we want our girls to know how to make real things with their own hands.
Not because the world is ending, but because strong humans build better futures, and women are powerful too!đȘâïž
Would you teach your child a hands-on skill like this?

đ„ This past weekendâs Group Forge Project was something special.
Led by Chris Cash @mt_phillip_metal_works and Matthew Harris @matthew_harris_studio , about 25 makers came together to build a massive kinetic sculpture using steel and copperâeach person contributing their own piece to something bigger than themselves.
From first heats to final assembly, new skills were learned, ideas were shared, and a lot of sparks were flying (literally).
More than anything, it was about the experienceâworking side by side, pushing limits, and creating something unforgettable.
Already looking forward to the next one.
