SparkTruck: A “Bookmobile” That Brings Rapid Prototyping to School Kids
A group of Stanford students have begun SparkTruck to expose children to rapid prototyping at an early age. The truck is loaded with high-tech tools like a "laser cutter, two 3-D printers, a vinyl cutter, sewing machines and a clay oven," as well as a "wide assortment of ‘low tech’ tools such as hammers, scissors, hot glue guns, tape, and various craft supplies."
