GROUP
St.Paul's Elementary School Makers
3rd to 8th grade students at St.Paul's School. This group comprises of an after-school "Make Club" who worked on the Interactive City, and a middle school class who worked on the Robot and Android Apps.
* Interact with a cardboard city made by 3-8 graders: control the lights; rotate the bridges; and operate doorbells.
* Meet and greet our friendly recycled trash robot.
* Make a "flip animation" straw.
* Play the Makey Makey Piano.
* Have fun
What inspired you to make this project?:
Last year we show-cased a cardboard robot that had moving limbs and LED eyes and speaker speech. (We used servos and Arduinos to set this up.)
Inspired by Danny Schible's Tapigami installation at the Bay Area Maker's Faire 2015, we decided we could go further and create a cardboard animated city! We are using servos to animate limbs and drawbridges, LEDs to animate eyes and traffic lights, speakers to animate speech and doorbells. The picture I uploaded is a work in progress. Each student is making a structure and teaming up with a middle school student to help animate their structure. We will use MakeyMakeys as our input device, allowing the audience a unique interactive experience with our city.
