Dinacon Week 2 Update!

Greetings again from Sri Lanka! We have reached peak dinacon with about 40 folks coming in internationally joining with about 80 folks from Dreamspace academy here in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka!

Most importantly WE HEARD THE MYTHICAL SINGING FISH! (They are a secretive fish called a Midshipman toadfish that makes a chorus of silly mating sounds during a full moon!) We put some audiomoths in the water to monitor their sounds!

We also had tons of great projects such as:
Miracle Berry+ ant defense chemical tasting
upcycled acrylic smashing
photogrammetry
papermaking
Hydrophone recording
eyetracking and nature drawing to generative art
Zine workshops
upcycled bottles into purses and 3d printer filament.
Soldering workshops
Floating makerspace making
Brick oven building
and more infrastructure and educational workshops!

check it all out in our weekly newsletter!
