David Kelley: How to build your creative confidence
Asia has been working on a series of hydraulic puppets for engineering studio. This animal pocket knife reminds me of some of the forms she’s cutting out for the characters.

DIY.org is a new online community for kids to share their projects. When a kid signs up for the site, it requires you to type in a parent’s email, who has to confirm the account and make their own login before you can move forward. Once validated, you can upload photos via the website or an mobile app. Kids can share their portfolios with family and friends who can give “stickers.”
It seems like an interesting way for kids to share things they make, examples on the page incude a paper airplane or that cardboard birdhouse. The one thing I wish the site included was a way for portfolio creators to add some notes about their projects beyond just a title. That way, creators could add a little how to, reflection, or explanation of their projects. I made my own portfolio, with the identity obscuring avatar of the owl. Any parents out there want to give it a try and let me know what you think?
“Frequently, you see women relegated to very traditional roles - I’ll build the robot, and you can be secretary for the group. Unless you’re very assertive, men can take over the group.” - Angela Bielefeldt, professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Colorado Bounder
Join us for a live chat tomorrow at noon as we make sense of some of these numbers:+ In 2008, 41% college freshmen planned to major in science and engineering vs. 30% for women.
+ Only 19% of software developers are women.
+ Only 5.5 percent of commercial patent-holders were women.Curious to know your thoughts on this, Tumblr. Especially those of you in school. How’s the gender ratio in your majors?
