Design Despite Disciplines006: The Spectrum of Craft ft. Leah Buechley and Ron RaelCraft exists on a spectrum that encompasses disciplines, materials, tools, and cultures, all of which are constantly evolving. To explore the spectrum of craft and all of its permutations, the high and low end of craft, cultural linkages, traditions, tools, and materials, and the act of making, we spoke with Ron Rael and Leah Buechley, design professors interested in the culture of craft.2021-10-2623 min

TED EducationLeah Buechley: How to "sketch" with electronicsDesigning electronics is generally cumbersome and expensive -- or was, until Leah Buechley and her team at MIT developed tools to treat electronics just like paper and pen. In this talk from TEDYouth 2011, Buechley shows some of her charming designs, like a paper piano you can sketch and then play. A video of this talk2012-11-1606 min
TEDTalks Vie familialeLeah Buechley: Comment dessiner à l'aide de circuits électroniques | Leah BuechleyConcevoir des circuits électroniques est souvent compliqué et cher -- ou l'était, jusqu'à ce que Leah Buechley et son équipe du M.I.T. développent des outils pour manipuler les circuits électroniques comme nous le ferions avec une feuille et un stylo.
