If you prefer your boots unmuddied, for about JD12 (£10), urban campaigners Hamzet Wasel (00 962 7966 37377; hamzetwasel.com) can turn the usual tourist/local dynamic on its head by having a group of Ammani children teach you how to build a traditional kite – then take you to one of the capital's highest hills to test your contraption.
Instead of slicing downwards, your contraption will zoom full force ahead.
Hold the contraption up to your eyes like a pair of binoculars and you can play a range of cool little games using the Switch controllers, the models and – in one game, at least – your breath, thanks to a little cardboard pinwheel attachment.
You do feel pretty cool, in a Peter Parker sort of "I'm a photographer" way, but if you're used to consumer digital cameras, hauling these 1.5-pound contraptions up to your eye for each shot takes some unlearning.
These days, almost everyone knows what a CD-RW burner is: an industrial-looking, square, beige contraption that attaches to your Mac or PC and lets you create your own CD's or even erase and re-record them.
It's still not perfect but it definitely beats having a birdbath and microphone pointing up in the air contraption bolted next to your bathroom window.
Once you lash your tablet to the workout contraption of your choice and fire up the app, you're given the option to choose from a slew of locales to immerse yourself in.
Demos: If you would like to do a demo of your project, you may bring your own laptop as well as your own stool (or stack of boxes or another contraption) to support your laptop next to your poster.
This is the contraption that connects your microphones and instruments to your computer.
The whole point of the contraption is to provide the fastest possible path to your stimulant — without the time, labor or brain power required for even an automated drip maker, like a Mr. Coffee.
