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.
Fabricator Track
30th-31st May 2018 | 9am-4pm
Suitable for age 10-12
Bt Timah Campus (Platform E)
