This
TED talk on paper tools by Manu Prakesh (April 2017) also inspires ideas on things which parents can do at home with their kids, including:
- making one's own version of the world's oldest toy (instructions for several DIY versions found online
here)
- participating in mosquito monitoring through
Abuzz, contributing to crowd-sourced data, citizen science vector tracking
- developing an appreciation for living without infrastructure (for example: go camping or just pitch a tent in the back yard for a few days).
Manu Prakesh is the man who made news in 2012 with
paper microscopes.
