Ian Charnas' personal work blends art and technology, including projects such as the World's Largest Twin Musical Tesla Coils and a Magical Mustache Mirror. He applied his creativity and skill to his build (and his video!) for Project Egress.

Bio: New Orleanians change the world through science, technology, engineering, and math. FabLab NOLA at Delgado Community College is an advanced fabrication lab established through a partnership with the Fab Foundation. With a focus on K-12 STEM education and outreach, our goal is to be a hub for educators and makers in New Orleans, provide open access and instruction to makers, and function as a collaborative space for exploration and experimentation.
Artist Statement: We began with a pilot trial. We used Cura to attempt our first model. The pilot print came out pretty well. We were pretty impressed of ourselves. The following couple weeks were a series of trial and error, trying to figure out what unique material we were going to use, how we were going to execute, etc. After searching our options, we decided to do flower-filled plus glitter resin casts with 3D printed balls. But first! we had to make molds. And to do that, we had to laser cut some boxes for our molds. Mold making was messy but fun. It took a few molds to get a satisfying result. We found small flowers on campus to make our casts cute and unique. We had to dry the flowers via microwave. Many, many attempts and experiments came with the resin. What looked best? How do they fit? What is too much? Too little? Finally, after many trials, we designed and assembled a finished project!

You may know Dano Wall from Project Egress. Or you MAY know him from his Harriet Tubman stamp. If you're not familiar with that project, related to replacing Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, read about it here.
Read more about Dano and his Project Egress part below.
Maker Chris Yohe took an authentic approach to his Project Egress part, using a hydrogen peroxide and vinegar mixture to make his latch look like it had been recovered from the depths of the ocean. Luckily, he had a great helper: his 3-year-old son Noah.
Continue on for Chris' fascinating and deep description of his process.
For Sam Tumolo, a coordinator in the Maker Space at the New York Hall of Science, Project Egress was a natural extension of her interest in large-scale collaborative projects that showcase different unique forms of making.
Read about Sam, the New York Hall of Science, and the bottom to right side bell crank assembly made for Project Egress!
Eighteen-year-old Theodore Anastasoff is studying for a dual-degree in physics and mechanical engineering at Saint Mary's College. Before working on his part -- a gearbox output bottom linkage assembly -- he hadn't 3D modeled since a class three years ago!

Before passing along his inside handle to Project Egress, YouTuber Paul's Garage tested its hardiness on multiple household items, including his car. Because: "If it can pull a hatchback, it can open a hatch."
Paul's build process is fascinating; read about it below, and then watch his build video.
Makerspace BLDG 61 not only built a part for Project Egress. they made it space ready for us via a balloon launch that sent it above 100,000 feet!

Estefannie recently quit her job as a software engineering lead to make things and share them online. We encourage you to show your support by subscribing to her YouTube Channel! She rocks.
Read on for more about Estefannie and her role in Project Egress, which included the live build.
The founder of two hackerspaces, Matt Stultz is now Head of Community for Prusa 3D. And we REALLY dig the color scheme of his part for Project Egress.
