As I told you I was going to a seminar during this week. It was at the FabLab at Sauðárkrókur and we got to try everything you could do there. Started Monday learning to use the free program Inkskape, which is used to work with the laser- and vinylcutter. First project was a figure designed by each and everyone, which was so cut out of acrylicglass and put together by us. We soon learned the "hard" way or better told learned by our mistakes, what worked and what didn't. Fun to use machine and I hope we can work with the lasercutter at Húsavík with our students, too. 
Tuesday was dedicated to making a two- or more colored sticker, cutting it with the vinylcutter and putting it together into one. As usual I didn't go for the easy stuff and decided to transfer a photo of Aldís into a sticker. Lot of work and I couldn't print out before Thursday, but I think the result is great, so it paid of. Later that day we got to interview the dean of a rather new branch at the local High School, which was very interesting as she's fighting the same problems we do at the Elementary School. 
Wednesday was dedicated to Electronics, interesting, but we didn't do a lot of practical stuff that day. In the afternoon we went to the local tannery and got a guided tour there. Would have been interesting to get to know about their cooperation with the High School.
On Thursday I made my sticker and did some acrylicglass horses and additionally we were introduced to Arduino, a system with microcontrollers, where you can do a lot of really cool stuff, like programming lights, measuring temperature and so many more things. And last but not least, you learn a lot about programming. Think I'd like to use that with my students. In the late afternoon we were invited to our teacher's home, to check out how he's using new technology in his house and chatting with his fiancée, who is running her own design business Skrautmen. They were lucky to get rid of us again, the place was just amazing and so many things I wouldn't have thought about.
Friday was mostly about making stuff, but we tried the 3D-printer and the huge router, too. 
Now I'm tired, but happy at home and hope the next days will be calmer.
