I had the pleasure of watching toymaker and tinkerer, Arvind Gupta (also winner of the National award for Science Popularization) in action at Mallya Aditi International School, Bangalore where he was invited to spend a few days with 6th-graders. The children enjoyed their time with him immensely - building air and water pumps out of empty toothpaste tubes, straws and empty film roll cannisters, motors out of batteries, magnets and copper wire, sound-makers out of straw, toys and animals from paper and matchboxes and what not.
I uploaded a couple of short videos onto youtube to share it with the kids and teachers (and the whole world, I guess...)
