Our society today is extremely tech savvy, but much of our relationship with technology is one of consumption. There is a need to be creators and engineers, to identify a problem in our daily lives and work together to solve it creatively.Come join us for 2 hours of hands-on activities and have fun creating and prototyping your own creative inventions! Network with like-minded enthusiasts and hobbyists, and work on your very own digital creation using an easy-to-code microcontroller, and take the final product back home.Through the workshop, participants will learn:
• how to display strings of text and image on a microcontroller
• how to programme the microcontroller to perform more elaborate tasks using constructs like variables, loops, conditional statements, event handlers, and input/output signals
• how to tackle simple assembly work using craft materials, and
• how to exercise digital creativity to decorate and dress up the digital creation.
This programme is suitable for participants aged 7 and upwards with an accompanying parent.
Admission is free and registration is required.
Participants are advised to arrive on time, as allocated seats will be released to interested participants 10 minutes after the start of the workshop.
