This week in the iNEST Maker Club, students leading our table at the NC-TIES student showcase next week continued prepping circuitry projects to demonstrate at the conference. All of the conductible ink projects started last week dried and successfully lit-up with LEDs this week, and students created some new copper foil circuit cards as shown below (lighthouse, rocket). Dr. Oliver and Stephanie pulled out some of the LittleBits for the students to demo at the conference and started building out a tote of materials to take to the conference. Next week students will prep the final project for demonstration--soft circuits. In addition to the student showcase, club mentors had a regular session presentation accepted for the conference, and Dr. Oliver has finished the slides for that presentation that can be viewed below. Other students in the club this week worked on a variety of projects from 3d pens to digital embroidery to paper fabrication/origami. Behind the scenes, Stephanie has been working on new quests to populate into our 3D GameLab learning environment that will get students coding and working with Sphero robotics. Dr. Oliver and Stephanie attended a Sphero workshop at NC State Libraries last week to get an introduction to this new product bought for the club. Comments are closed.
