Description:
The fourth seminar in the Mystery Science Seminar series will include the topics of the first three seminars as they combine to make professional grade costumes. Foamsmithing and Pepakura inspired designs will be combined with electrical circuits and 3D printed objects to enhance the base costume. Not just for Halloween, Cosplayers meet at various conventions in original costumes which are enhanced using STEM knowledge to make new friends and exchange ideas. Come and see how STEM knowledge can be applied and create original devices which will thrill observers of your work at these gatherings.
The Mystery Science Seminar series is being hosted this year by Joe Domanico. There will be a total of four seminars, spread out throughout this year, given on the third Saturday of the month. Mr. Domanico is a 2015 recipient of the STEM Innovator Award from the Northeastern Maryland Technology Council and has been chosen as a Paul Harris Fellow by the Southern Harford Rotary Club. He has been involved in STEM activities for over 15 years and is best known for his energetic chemistry demonstrations. He joins us this year to discuss and demonstrate various topics to include phosphorescence, luminescence, the electromagnetic spectrum, sound and light, and the joining of various STEM topics in his passion for COSPLAY.
