THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE MAKER CAMP. WE WILL BE BACK AGAIN FOR THE WINTER EDITION IN NOV/DEC.

Campers will learn to explore different materials, processes and tools to build projects involving lights, sound and movement.

They will:

• develop projects with illumination using single and/or strip LEDs, electro-luminescent wires among others;
• explore the use of DC motors to produce quirky motions;
• design a simple mechanical project e.g. hand-held drawing machine;
• make a cardboard project e.g. vending machine, mechanical claw;
• share your experience with your peers.

Campers will get a full taste of what digital making is: from idea visualization to realisation of a product in physical 3D form.

They will:

• learn to visualise a product in 3D;
• sculpt plastic materials with their hands;
• sculpt digital objects;
• design objects for 3D printing;
• putting meshes together while working in groups;
• share their experience with their peers.

Campers will learn how inventors are able to harness the power of scientific inquiry and develop new ideas that can potentially revolutionise the world. Walk in the shoes of famous inventors like Faraday, Edison or Tesla. Try out some awesome experiments and build your very own cool stuff!

They will:

• try out famous experiments in magnetism, power and electricity;
• build their own bare-metal motor from wires and magnets;
• build their first motor application - a battery-powered micro drill;
• explore harnessing electricity from solar;
• experiment with different mechanisms and movement in building their first analog robot;
• share their learning experience with their peers

Campers will get their hands full by bringing old discarded parts to life or simply combine them together to build something awesome.

They will:

• learn to take-apart existing consumer product and conduct experiments e.g. circuit bending;
• identify components and label and/or organize the components;
• harvest important components and using those to rebuild or repair an existing device;
• learn about reverse-engineering, drafting simple schematics and designing their very own;
• share their learning experience with their peers
