Maker Camp Live Sessions

https://makercamp.com/ The final episode of The Mario Show’s “residency” with Maker Camp! Featuring What if Kids Ruled the World and Mario’s Make of the week! #TheMarioShow #MakerCamp #WIKRTW #MakeTogether https://www.mariothemagician.com/

https://makercamp.com/ Become a Dinosaur with a Plastic Bag We all wanted to be a dinosaur at one point or another, I know I did! Now you can be a dinosaur any day you choose (and help the planet while doing it!). Learn how to upcycle used plastic bags and fashion it into a wearable spiky spine you can add on top of your clothing. Want more? Using a MOSFET and some bright LEDs, we will also show you how to make a simple touch signal circuit that will use your body as a conductor. You can add this circuit to control when your spikes will light up with a simple touch of your finger, elbows, knees or toes! The light up spikes are not only decorative, but also communicative! Get a dinosaur pack together and you can send Morse code through your spikes!

https://makercamp.com/ This week Scrappy Circuits will share a Scrappy Scratch Shoot the Moon game and more. https://makercamp.com/event/scrappy-circuits-0827/ Watch the previous Maker Camp Live Scrappy Circuit sessions here: https://makercamp.com/partners/scrappy-circuits/ Learn more at: https://www.scrappycircuits.com/

https://makercamp.com/ Use everyday materials to create a cardboard and ping-pong ball machine on your door that sounds an alarm, turns on the lights or feeds your goldfish when someone enters the room. We’ll start the explorations using physical materials, ramps and rollers and then add in the digital world of sounds, LEDs and motors controlled by a Micro:bit microcontroller. There’s no limit to how far you can take this tinkering project.

He also works closely with Tinkering School to design camps/classes and he helps prototype hands-on workshops with the Cabaret Mechanical Theater in the UK. https://wonderfulidea.co/ Twitter: @wonderfulideaco and @ryanejenkins Instagram: @wonderfulideaco

Hi, Campers! Welcome to Ping-Pong Machines with The Wonderful Idea Company More details below! For a supplies list and step-by-step project build, please go here: https://makercamp.com/event/ping-pong-wonderfulideaco/ Let’s get making!

https://makercamp.com/ Featuring What if Kids Ruled the World and Mario’s Make of the week! #TheMarioShow #MakerCamp #WIKRTW #MakeTogether Mario is joined this week by the EXTRAORDINARILY talented and insightful @PeterLinzMuppet. https://www.mariothemagician.com/ https://twitter.com/PeterLinzMuppet

https://makercamp.com/ This week Scrappy Circuits will share a water tag game and a Scrappy version of the game Washers.

https://makercamp.com/ https://makercamp.com/event/stem-inventions/ The STEM Invention kit provides aspiring inventors with exciting and open-ended challenges that foster critical thinking, creative problem solving, and a whole lot of fun! https://www.makershed.com/products/stem-invention-kit There are no right or wrong solutions, just invent, test, reflect, and redesign to your heart’s content. During this session we will invent a car that drives in circles and a machine that moves unpredictably. In this session the kit’s creator Lance Akiyama builds some of the motorized contraptions from the Challenge Booklet!

https://makercamp.com/ https://makercamp.com/event/learn-to-breadboard/ During this session, we use a few simple components to build a circuit that creates different pitches based on how much light is received by a photoresistor. Check out the written project guide below and order your Thermin Kit, http://www.digikey.com/l2b For more inspiration and step-by-step guides for building a variety of cool electronics projects, get the How to use a Breadboard guide from MakerShed (PDF & print available, in English & Spanish). https://www.makershed.com/products/how-to-use-a-breadboard More on Digikey https://www.digikey.com/

On this week’s episode of The Mario Show, we are visited by comedian and magician Piff the Magic Dragon! A brand new group of kid correspondents answer life’s important questions in the ‘What If Kids Ruled The World” segment. And, of course, Mario leads us in our weekly live dance party! https://makercamp.com/event/marioshow-0814 #TheMarioShow #MakerCamp #WIKRTW #itsafamilybusiness!

https://makercamp.com/ Scrappy Speakers https://makercamp.com/event/scrappy-circuits-speakers/ Take apart a tea light. Get your Connector Brick and some old head phones ready. Queue up your favorite song and listen together. See Connector Brick Session here. https://youtu.be/dtOF0f5yX10 Watch the previous Scrappy Circuit sessions here: https://makercamp.com/partners/scrappy-circuits/ Learn more at: https://www.scrappycircuits.com/

https://makercamp.com/ https://makercamp.com/event/Morse-Code-Flashlight Join The League of Young Inventors and build a Morse Code Flashlight using the Teknikio Sparking Sense kit. https://www.makershed.com/products/sparking-sense-set We will invent our own flashlights to send coded messages, even from far away and in the dark! Your custom-built flashlight will have an unusual switch that allows you to control pulses of electricity. (It’s science and engineering at work.) This is just one of the many projects you can build with this kit. https://theyounginventors.org/ https://make.co/

https://makercamp.com/ https://makercamp.com/event/BDG-solarbugs/ https://www.makershed.com/products/solar-bug-kit Create a solar powered insect that zips around and makes noise! Learn about solar energy in a fun and creative way! The new solar bug design has students creating a simple solar circuit in minutes using only conductive tape! Cut out your bug, decorate it, then add the included solar cell and vibrating motor! These bugs will zip around any smooth surface when in direct sunlight and make a silly clattering sound. Materials Needed: Solar Bug Kit (see link above) Scissors coloring supplies https://www.browndoggadgets.com/ https://make.co/
