In this workshop, participants are going to learn about the basics of Electronics and Electric Circuit. They will be using DC Motors, Cell Batteries and Conductive Tape to create a prototype that combines art and technology.
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
Laser Cutter, Scissors, Glue Gun, Conductive Tape, Motor , Battery, Markers, Glue, Cardboard, Paper, Paper Clippers.
Presentation
1- Introduce the participants to Studio 5.
2- Ask the participants what is the meaning of electricity.
3- Ask the participants what is an electric circuit.
4- Show a video that explains electric circuits.
5- Ask the participants what is electrical conductivity and what materials are conductive materials.
6- Introduce participants to conductive tape & smart materials.
7- Show the participants examples of prototypes of conductive tape .
8- Show the participants how to connect a simple circuit with conductive tape.
9- Show the participants what will we do today.
10- Show the participants all the needed materials.
Show the participants the step-by-step process of creating the prototype.
Prototype
1- Cut the cardboard on the shape of the circles then use the needle/toothpick to make a hole in the middle of it.
2- We used our laser cutting machine to cut the cardboard and paper.
3- Put the motor in the holes of the discs then use the glue gun to stick everything together.
4- Trace the circuit using the conductive tape.
5- Show a video of tips & tricks on how to use conductive tape.
6-Add tape to the motor and attach it to its place.
7- Attach the wires to the circuit put the batteries in their position and use the paper clip
to make sure they are in place then test the circuit.
8- Create holes in the disc papers then attach it to the motors.
9- Test the prototype to see if it is working.
Challenge
1- Challenge participants to find ways to make the spin your way to art prototype environment friendly.
2- Show the participants various ways & examples of making the prototype an environment friendly prototype.
