Awesome Weekend Projects

Author: Ben Chaim

This stream is perfect for people seeking awesome weekend projects for themselves or their older kids. Make robots, blow stuff up, build motors, paper crossbows, and more. You'll also learn along the way! Each project can be done in a single afternoon, but be responsible. There's alot in here that needs adult supervision.

Bristlebot

A bristlebot is a small bug like robot, made from the head of a toothbrush, that zips around the floor. It's a blast! Try it this weekend with your kids!

Paper Crossbow

Learn how to build a crossbow made mostly from paper that shoots pencils. Lots of fun, kind of dangerous. Ok, this one is NOT for kids. It's for you. And do it responsibly!

Pop Pop Boat

This video show how to make a pop pop boat, which is basically a steam powered boat. You don't have to make it as complicated as the video does - the boat itself can be as simple as a piece of Styrofoam. This one's fun with kids again, so try it this weekend.

Film Canister Cannon

Be careful with this one! But what a blast! Learn how to build a cannon that works on spray deodorant. Try it this weekend.

Goop

Make your own slime. It is eminently chuckable. Give it a goooooo this weekend.

Bottle Rocket

If this bottle rocket is a bit complicated for you, there are many simple designs you can find. Be responsible! Have fun this weekend.

Electric Motor

Here's how to make an awesome electric motor. Give it a go this weekend.

Ninja!

Now you're a maker-ninja, so we want you to have fun with ninja stars. This can be hours of entertainment, but be VERY CAREFUL not to hurt anybody. Good work! Way to finish this Stream strong.
