Staying creative is difficult in the midst of a pandemic.
That's why student assistants at California State University, Bakersfield's Fab Lab are producing video tutorials of fun projects. At CSUB, the Fab Lab is a digital fabrication lab open to the creative minds of students and the public.
With families following stay-at-home, social distancing orders due to COVID-19, Fab Lab student assistants figured out how to keep people creative at home.
These video tutorials encourage kids to stay productive and challenge their imaginations — using materials found in their own homes.
