Hello! Welcome to my page. My name is Alex; by day I’m an engineer (writing software for the metal forming industry), and evenings and weekends I help run the CIF, and use its resources to create projects of steampunk art and tech…
I’m interested in the use of the steampunk artistic aesthetic to instruct students young and old in hands-on fabrication projects. Towards that end, I and some students from Blendon Middle School created a “steampunk computer desk”.
I also rent a studio here at the Idea Foundry, and look forward to showcasing some of my projects at our gallery events. For images of some of my work, please visit HandMadeByRobots.Org
Or my personal page: www.alexanderbandar.com
If interested in creating anything at the Foundry, or for other information relevant to art / tech / education, please feel free to drop me a line at Alex at ColumbusIdeaFoundry dot com. Thanks!
