We take apart a disused webcam and turn the lens so that we get a macro lens. Then we build a stage from laser cutting parts and mount the modified webcam. In no time at all we have a wonderfully functioning DIY microscope, which invites you to dive into the wonderful world of the microcosm and document your discoveries directly on your computer.

An Arduino or similar micro-controller is a quick way to breathe life into a prototype. It’s not just a physical prototyping board, but a system of an easy-to-understand programming environment, a project hub for inspiration, and a world-wide and helpful forum. So what are you waiting for?

With 3D printers and digital production machines, we have arrived at production unit one. This means that parts are produced just in time and no longer in large quantities in stock. But it also means that we can break new ground in terms of production location, spare parts and production reliability.

There are two different circuits in two cubes connected with a cable. Chaos are two oscillating circuits that modulate each other. The pitch can be manipulated by a photoresistor (LDR), and the pulse width by a potentiometer. The second potentiometer is used to set the voltage that supplies current to the oscillating circuit. This allows you to create versatile and very interesting sound. The other circuit is a simple amplifier with a speaker.
We built these cubes in the + TINKER TEC GIRLS + workshop at HSLU. For more information klick the link below.
FabLab stands for Fabrication Laboratory and was developed by + NEIL GERSHENFELD + (MIT) as a course of study. The concept is simple: it gives creatives access to digitally controlled machines, such as: 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC milling machines – very easily, quickly and for everyone!

You can’t teach competencies, you have to acquire them yourself. This is how I understand my task as teacher: to invite, inspire and support the participants in their projects. The main goal is to create an optimal learning environment for everyone and to tune them into their own frequencies so that an orchestra sounds.
