LightLogo in Action with Magellan International School
Make awesome patterns of light with just a few lines of code! Join us live from the i.lab for Design + Making at the Magellan International School where we'll be tinkering around with LightLogo, a text-based programming language that encourages open-ended play and experimentation. This is the perfect first project for anyone who's interested in art, coding, electronics, and microcontrollers. Watch and make LIVE on the Family Maker Camp FB page or on the Make: Kids Youtube channel. Materials list:…

Paper Circuits Knife Switch Knife switches are a fun way to visualize how a circuit becomes completed when a switch is engaged. It’s easy to see how the switch is “opened” or “closed” which represent the two states of a single throw switch. Knife switches are not used for most modern day circuits as they have been replaced by switches that are safer at high voltages, but since we’ll be working with low voltage circuits this DIY cardboard knife switch…

Operation Game Brick The teaching and learning of invention literacy is often locked behind many pre-requisite skills and expensive STEM toys. Scrappy Circuits breaks down these barriers to learning to invent through using a modular system of bricks build by the learner and sourced for commonly found objects. In this session, they will build off the battery and buzzer bricks and create an Operation Brick. WATCH LIVE on the Family Maker Camp Facebook page or on the Kids Make: Youtube…

Cranky Contraptions Cranky Contraptions are homemade kinetic toys that produce a variety of motions (up and down, side to side, and more) by turning a wire "crank." Learners use everyday materials to tinker with ideas about storytelling and mechanical motion and bring whimsical creations to life! During this one hour workshop, we will make cranky contraptions together! Gather your materials and ideas ahead of time. Get inspiration from others as we build. Share your creations during the session and online…
