Learning Gallery

Light it up! (Electronics)

LEDs, resistors, batteries, wires, potentiometers to adjust brightness, switches.

Electronics & Computing for Juniors

We use our innovative approach to engage children as young as age 4 with electronics, sensors, and computing in a fun and accessible way.  Develop resilience, dexterity, precision, and algorithmic thinking early in life.

Build, Explore, Learn!

Participants choose the parts they'll need.

Sensors & Transistors

Explore motion sensing, transistors, and mapping a sensor's 'field of view'.

Auditory Sensing

Explore clap-, shout-, and breath- activated responses.

Low-Power Lasers

Wire up a low-power laser triggered either by switches, sensors, or a microcontroller.

Detecting the breaking of a laser beam

Build a beam-break detector.  Right out of The Minions.  Challenge: can you use this technique to create a smart people counter?

Prototyping Intelligent Systems

Prototyping a 'smart door handle' that knows when it is opened.

Robotic Guidance & Control

Build a differentially steered vehicle.

Programme a laser mounted dual-axis pan & tilt system to automatically fire on pre-preprogrammed target positions.

Build & control a 3-D platform system (pan, tilt, roll)

Computing from the Ground Up!

Graphics and Low-Level Computing.  Learn what it takes to roll your own programming language, write an single-pass assembler and compiler.  Stack computing & the potential of eco-computing (ultra-low power computing).
