I recently did some STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Maths) workshops at Edventure in Frome. We explored paper circuits, programming in Scratch and making interfaces using the Makey Makey. I had lots of fun and the feedback was great, there were some impressive creations!
Paper electronics for Autumn
Just a quick post of a nice little autumn themed card in paper electronics...
Paper craft electronics birthday card
It is my sons 7th birthday today and it has become a tradition to do a paper craft electronics card for him. These have tended to get a bit more complicated every year so there is a warning there to start simple! This one uses an ATtiny 84 chip programmed via an Arduino to run a seven segment display from a 3V button cell. I used very thin kynar wire and copper tape for the connections to make it count up to and flash his age. Definitely one to do before they reach double figures!!
It would be great to print the circuit outline onto the card to scale and do some nice design on the computer, my drawing (and writing!) skills are somewhat lacking!
