Co vás čeká: Seznámení se základy pájení a bezpečností práce Vysvětlení základních elektronických součástek (rezistory, LED diody, tranzistory) Stavba vlastního obvodu podle připraveného návodu Pájení pod dohledem lektora a oživení vlastního světélka Pro koho to je: Pro začátečníky bez předchozích zkušeností s elektronikou Pro děti od cca 8 let (s doprovodem) Pro všechny, kdo si chtějí vytvořit něco vlastního a naučit se novou dovednost Na konci workshopu si odneseš své vlastní světélko – a s ním i nový praktický skill, který ti zůstane.

(sledovač čiernej čiary, auto orientujúce sa iba pomocou ultrazvuku, auto s kamerou ktoré premieta obraz do mobilného telefónu a i.) Radi by sme predviedli náš turbo-tank, ktorý síce nie je ozbrojený ale jazdí slušnou rýchlosťou. Ale máme aj niekoľko statických projektov ako sú 3D modely reálnych domov, ktoré sú zmenšené 100 násobne. Najrôznejšie učebné pomôcky ale i rôzne vykrajovačke na sušienky a pod. Návštevníci si budú môcť vyskúšať jazdu našim robotickým minitankom cez lexanovo-3D tlačené bludisko na čas za čo určte získajú aj drobné ocenenie. Možno príde aj Stormtrooper 🙂 - (zatiaľ v procese)

SpaceframeSCAD: Large-scale light-up sculptures, 3D printed, portable in a ziploc bag

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Ken Wronkiewicz

Home: California

I wanted to make illuminated sculptures, but I only have so much room to work with. Thus, I asked myself "How would I make something that looks neat but fits into a ziploc bag?” Around the same time, I'd been browsing through the NASA Tech Report Server to look at the wealth of papers from the 1980s. I realized that the classic concept art renditions of Space Station Freedom was only really scratching the surface of NASA's ambitions to build giant structures in orbit, all in trusses and with great consideration to the size and weight of the structure. These helped me make SpaceframeSCAD, a tool to build parametrically defined pieces to build a variety of structures that can be assembled into site-specific illuminated sculptures. Surprisingly, my tool extended beyond light-up sculptures and artwork the node system lets build tomato cages that can transform into a greenhouse when spring arrives, making my garden look more like out of the set of Star Trek.
