The Unbroken spirit of Inventor Bessie Blount

This week we take a look at Bessie Blount, who despite prejudices and hardships kept a wickedly rebellious sense of humor and saved many lives with the invention of the feeding tube.

Celebrating Bessie Blount, Inventor of the Feeding Tube

Grace Hopper, Inventor, Computer Scientist & kickass teacher

Not only did she code like a ninja, Grace Hopper was also an amazing teacher!

Aztec Inspiration

How did the Aztecs perceive the stars, how did they measure time and construct their calendars, and what hackerspace projects inspired by their explorations of space?

The prompt can inspire zines, LED projects, costumes — just about anything you can think of! And above all something to distract us from the stress of election results this week 🙂
