It's been too long since our last workshop and it's time to kick things in gear with an epic workshop. Drop your kids off for this one day camp or stay with them and learn alongside. We will be making something the kids will be proud to display at home.
Project: During this session, the kids will be creating a painting, and add up to 24 LEDs to bring it to life. We will start with a brief overview of circuits and LEDs, followed by soldering the wires, painting the picture, and putting it all together. For the kids that have learned how to program an Arduino, they will be able to hack the painting and change the display sequence (see picture of our prototype below)
Schedule: June 11 and 12 (2 days) from 9:00am to 3:30pm. I will be on site from 8:15am to 4:30pm and your kids are welcome to join early and/or stay late. On Friday June 12, we will be displaying all the LED paintings from 3:00pm to 3:30pm. Join us for our art show and some refreshments.
Price: $80 per child. The price includes all materials as well as breakfasts (fruits), lunches (pizza and other healthier options) and afternoon snacks.
What does your child need? Nothing is required, however a laptop with the Arduino software installed will allow the kids to customize the display sequence. A workshop on programming will be available later this Summer if interested.
Class size: 20 kids. May be able to increase to 25 if I can get enough adults volunteers. Send me an email "stephane at
kidsv2.org" if you are able or interested in participating or have any questions. No prior experience necessary. Thank you!!
