With over 11 million subscribers and an average of 40 million views per month, “The King of Random” is one of the most popular project channels on YouTube. Bringing 9 years of experiments and discovery to a new medium, 52 RANDOM WEEKEND PROJECTS: For Budding Inventors and Backyard Builders is a guide that enables ordinary folks to build an impressive array of DIY projects using easy to acquire materials and tools. These crafts combine some of The King of Random’s most popular builds—Matchbox Rockets, Pocket Slingshot Super Shooters, Ninja Balls, Marshmallow Blasters, and more—with new, exciting crafts for every skill level. The book provides clear instructions on how to build all of the projects step-by-step and includes black and white illustrations of all 52 projects.
Featuring wildly popular videos like “How to Make a Laser Assisted Blowgun” and “How to Make LEGO Gummy Candy,” the YouTube channel was born from founder Grant Thompson’s personal mission to understand how things we take for granted every day work—things like electricity, filtered water, and batteries—and how to recreate these things for himself. Today, the channel posts 5 videos a week and encourages viewers be curious about the world around them.
Calli, co-host of The King of Random, has been in the acting industry for over fifteen years—but her love of creating and building began at a much earlier age. Always excited to learn how the world around her worked and create her own designs, she went on to become an illustration student. She worked as a detail artist in a sculpting studio prior to joining TKOR. She hopes to help others realize the possibilities in thinking outside the box and working with a creative passion.
Nate has been with The King of Random since June of 2017. He lived in California and Utah growing up, and received a bachelor's degree in art. Nate has always had an interest in learning new things as well as any kind of hands on project. His interests in art, science, and building led him to pursue working for TKOR when the opportunity arose, and so far he has filmed over 600 videos as a host and creator for the channel.
The fun begins at 6:00 at Weller Book Works! The experiments will be followed by a signing.
