Bigshot Testimonials

"Bigshot has the potential to make engineering tangible, exciting, and applicable for young people from all walks of life."

"The bigshot project is a wonderful example of science and engineering education through experiential hands-on learning. I want one myself!"

"In modern society, we use technology without understanding it. I love that Nayar and his team have built such sophisticated and advanced technology into this camera and yet made it so accessible and transparent. The project also connects people from such diverse cultures and backgrounds, so there’s a wonderful social studies piece as well. It’s a great educational tool."

"Bigshot helped me make use of the science I learned in school."

"I thought the camera was really, really cool, especially the three lenses, but it was even cooler to help build it. I could tell everyone I had made a camera."

"I am incredibly excited about this tool for the educational exploration opportunities. The presentation of your documentation is worthy of an award and has already spawned several lesson ideas. Toss into the mix an interactive kid-magnet camera with a outlet to share images and ideas - this could become a movement."

"I would love to use these to teach children in rural areas across the midwest about the joy of photography, art, and sharing."

"It was very easy to build and dismantle the camera so that I could learn and discover the camera's structure and how all its components work together. And it was easy to use the camera too."

"I tried to open up an old digital camera to show how a camera works, to my son. It was a pain to keep all those tiny springs and bearings in place.. Hope I will get to buy one of the Bigshot camera kits soon."
