The objective of this project is to learn how a motor works, then make a simple motor. Participants will learn to wind a piece of wire to make an armature, then put together the armature, magnet, and battery to make a working motor. The materials are: wire, magnet, paper clip, and an AA battery.
The objectives of this project are to learn soldering, use hand tools, and have exposure to electronics. A PCB and some components, such as transistors, LED, resistors, capacitors, and a battery are provided. Participants will learn to assemble electronics components onto the PCB to make a LED flashing device. This circuit demonstrates how to make an LED flashers, which requires more than 1.5V to work on a single 1.5V AA battery.
The objectives of this project are learning hand skills, electromagnetism, and electronics. This workshop involves soldering, wood cutting, and joining pieces together to make a magnetic levitation device. Participants will learn the concepts of magnetism and electromagnetism, and design a stand to support the magnetic levitation module. Participants can select from scrap pieces of woods, acrylic boards, or any materials provided that suite their design to make the stand.
