This is hands-on home-take project. I was presented at the Summer Camp and we decided to let pupils have it at the Saturday classes as well.
Embark on an exciting journey into the realm of robotics with our "Fairy Tales Castle" project, specially designed for 11-year-olds. This enchanting desktop lamp brings together mechanical engineering, electronics, and programming in a captivating blend of imagination and innovation.
Participants will dive into the intricate world of gears as they assemble the castle's walls, each adorned with their unique artistic expressions. Powered by a motor meticulously driving the interconnected gears, the castle comes to life with dynamic motion and mesmerizing visual effects. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, budding engineers will explore the fundamentals of robotics programming using the Arduino IDE and Arduino C programming language. They'll learn to control the speed, direction of movement, and lighting patterns of the Fairy Tales Castle, leveraging the capabilities of components like the TB6612 motor driver, Arduino UNO board, and RGB LED WS2812B strip.
Technical knowledge will be imparted through hands-on activities, including schematic design, understanding H-Bridge and PWM motor control principles, and mastering the intricacies of gear systems. Participants will unleash their creativity by decorating the castle walls with their imaginative designs, adding a personal touch to their creation. To culminate their experience, they'll bring their project to life in a 3D model and create informative slides showcasing their journey from concept to completion.
