Recent Projects

Maze Merchandise

When the Covid19 crisis shut down the country to people gathering indoors, Steve continued to experiment and produce a wide variety of engaging maze merchandise with his amazing designs on them. T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, water bottles, beach towels, flip flops, face masks, shower curtains, bedding, accent pillows, coasters, kitchen towels, magnets, wall clocks, jigsaw puzzles, and so much more! He has partnered with several online marketplaces to offer this merchandise to the public. Check out all the products available in the products section.

Outdoor Public Art

Steve was commissioned to create an interactive exhibit for an outdoor play space. The art piece chosen to be enlarged and fabricated was a colorful and engaging maze. Early in the process, Steve created a portfolio of mazes for the committee to choose from. This gave Steve the impetus to experiment with purposing more of his maze images to be exhibited in novel ways.

Eureka! Puzzles & Games

Steve collaborated with the team at Eureka Puzzles and Games to help produce traveling table-top challenges of skill and logic for a high-profile puzzle-themed event. His talents were tapped to design and fabricate several themed exhibits including a portable “escape the room” challenge. These custom-built conundrums were part of a collection of puzzle-themed challenges that created an incredibly rich and engaging experience for over 50 teenagers (and almost as many curious adults) for several hours!

Meadowscaping for Biodiversity

Steve worked closely with the founders of Meadowscaping For Biodiversity bringing to market their ideas of teaching students about biodiversity using student-created meadows as outdoor classrooms. We accomplished this by creating several fun, project-based, outdoor, interdisciplinary environmental programs teaching youth to be good stewards for the Earth and partnering with local youth organizations to bring about positive environmental change in their local neighborhoods. Steve was both the lead educator as well as a curriculum designer and one of the project managers. He has an ongoing role with their growing organization helping them prepare and present at conferences and youth-related community events.

Space Park Somerville

Steve was a founding member of a collaborative of artisans that formed to design a free public event featuring giant interactive play structures and activities for families with kids to learn about science and the arts through the power of play. Held in Somerville, MA in 2015, hundreds of families with kids attended the event. After such a successful first event, Steve helped to co-found and raise money for a non-profit, Space Park Somerville to continue to bring space themed pop-up playgrounds to various events around the Metro Boston area. Check out photos and videos at here!

Crazy Mazes

Steve was asked to design and build a fun, interactive life-sized maze attraction for kids for an annual fundraising event. The attraction raised so much money that he was asked to design and build a similar maze attraction for the following year’s fund raiser. For two years running, the CrAzY MaZes were the most visited attraction at the event!

Magic The Gathering Themed Scavenger Hunt

Steve was asked to design, build and orchestrate a MTG themed scavenger hunt as an activity for a large social gathering. The young attendees (and a few adventurous adults) were sent on a quest to find hidden containers of all sizes and shapes that contained codes and clues. They worked in collaborative teams. The discovered clues and codes needed to be sorted and organized and shared among the adventurer teams. The teams had to work together to decipher a myriad of codes and ciphers to complete the challenge. The clues revealed the powerful artifacts needed to defeat the evil wizard threatening their survival. Ultimately, the adventurers were victorious!

Curriculum Design and Implementation

Steve was a member of an educational task force for a synagogue that analyzed the religious school’s curriculum and practices. They developed and implemented updated curriculum and new teaching methods that significantly improved student engagement in the school. He also taught several classes in Jewish Game Design to students in the third through sixth grade as part of the new curriculum offerings.
