Results from first LEGO Instax Camera workshops

I ran a workshop February 2019 at my local youth centre.

I mostly worked with three kids. However, the first two sessions involved dozens as we explored the technology of cameras and the challenges of camera building.

Using my Burke and James press cameras, they were introduced to focal length, focusing, light leaks, and how film needs to be developed in the dark! Truly, they are the digital generation.

And then we got to camera building! Here's how it went! On Facebook here.

I would argue the three are the first teens to build working LEGO Instax cameras. Which is kind of awesome.

I'm very proud of the work they did and I hope we get a chance to do it again.
