Take Home:Bring back your projects in littleBits, MakeDo and Circuit Stickers! (Materials worth $120)

5 Pereira Road, #04-03, Singapore 368025

Course Overview

Use your hands to create projects and inventions from scratch! This camp is designed to teach you the engineering process, and empowers you to prototype and design inventions while building problem-solving skills. We hope to get students excited about engineering and break down any “intimidation” students might have when presented with a creation task. This is a project-based camp where students will create multiple projects and take them home!

Tools Used

LittleBits

littleBits is a platform of easy-to-use electronic building blocks that empower you to invent anything, from your own remote controlled car to a smart home device. The Bits snap together with magnets, no soldering, no wiring, no programming needed.

Circuit Stickers

LED circuits on stickers can be used with copper tape and batteries to build circuits without having to solder or use wires. The stickers provide an easy and fun way to learn basic electronic concepts.

MakeDo

MakeDo is a kit of tools used for cardboard creations. The safe and easy-to-use plastic tools allow you to make fun sculptures out of cardboard.

Strawbees

Strawbees are little plastic units that connect to each other and join straws together. With Strawbees, you can easily create mathematical and mechanical structures.

Coursework

  • Creating LED light-up cards with Circuit Stickers
  • Building fun gadgets using littleBits
  • Constructing cardboard projects with MakeDo
  • Building a simple robot
  • Engineering a bridge out of Strawbees
  • Designing and implementing a final project using everything learned

What Will You Learn?

Electronics concepts

You use all kinds of electronic devices all day–find out more about how they work! You’ll learn about circuits, input vs. output and much more through Circuit Stickers and littleBits.

Prototyping process

You’ll learn about the engineering, design, and prototyping process through making projects with Strawbees and Makedo, award-winning building kits!

Logical and creative thinking

When you join our camp, you’ll step into a space where you’ll exercise your logical and creative thinking skills. The camp culminates with creating an original final project.

Perseverance

When prototyping projects, first designs probably won’t work. How do you iterate and improve your solution? You’ll learn the importance of perseverance and working until you find the right fix!
