Sylvia’s Super-Awesome Maker Show! is a “DIY webshow on everything cool and worth Making”. Sylvia is ten years old, and each episode of her show features a cool craft or project. The episodes include squishy circuits made with conducting and non-conducting dough, a no-heat lava lamp, making your own sidewalk chalk or crazy putty and many more.
I enjoyed watching them and am planning on doing some of the projects with my science students at school.

Colors
The Color Scheme Designer by Petr Stanicek is a site that lets you play around with colors. Choose monochromatic, complement, triad or other options, and it will suggest a color scheme for websites etc.. You can easily choose which colors to use and even see an example of a website layout with your chosen colors. You can also see what it would look like to a colorblind person. Once you’re happy with your colors, you can export the color codes for html, for example.
