PHYSICAL COMPUTING

+ + + +

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?

PLASTIC FANTASTIC

+ + + +

With the emergence of plastic, our lives have become simpler, more convenient, easier and more colorful. We encounter objects made of plastic every day: toothbrushes, cordless screwdrivers, extension cords, etc. – Can we say that we are living in the age of plastic?

DIY MICROSCOPE

+ + + +

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.

DIGITAL MANUFACTURING

+ + + +

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.

RESONATE

+ + + + + + +

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.

TINKER TEC GIRLS

+ + + +

In this electronics and prototyping workshop we solder an amplifier and a simple synthesizer circuit. The housing is of laser cut wood, the knobs are made by 3D printer. Learning how to make things yourself is the goal.

FABLAB

+ + + + +

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!

KEYCHAINS

+ + + +

Creating a personalized keychain is a perfect task for beginners to learn a simple CAD software as well as the operation of the 3D printer. He becomes a powerful tool when you can easily draw your visions and bring them immediately into the physical world.

CHAOS AMP

+ + + +

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.
