Project: Kinetic Sculpture. Arduino C coding edition.

This is hands-on home-take project.


At Robotics Camp, students aged 11 and up will build their own kinetic sculpture and take it home at the end of the program. The project is powered by an Arduino Nano, a TB6612FNG motor driver, and a motor that controls the moving parts of the sculpture. An RGB LED strip at the base adds a colorful lighting effect to the artwork.


Throughout the camp, participants will dive into various aspects of robotics and engineering. They'll learn to read and make electronic schematics and understand the mechanical linkages involved in the movement of the sculpture. Using the Arduino IED editor, they’ll also develop foundational coding skills for Arduino in C programming language, focusing on programming the motor and lighting functions.


Additionally, campers will explore basic 3D modeling, contributing to the customization of their sculptures. This hands-on experience combines art and technology, making it an exciting introduction to robotics and creative engineering.


The Camp Dates and Time

5 days, from Oct 28’24 until Nov 01’24

From 12.30 until 15.40

Age

From 11 years old (to 16)

Learning Outcomes and Topics Covered:

  • Develop a basic understanding of Arduino programming using Arduino C programming language.
  • Read and understand simple electronic schematics.
  • Assemble and connect mechanical linkages.
  • Build and customize a 3D-modeled kinetic sculpture.
  • Work with motors and LED lighting control systems.


This camp provides a fun, engaging way to explore robotics and creativity!


There are some requirements exist for the course:


1. You must be confident in using a computer, keyboard and mouse. At the good user level.

2. Know how we save files on a computer, what a file and folders are, etc.

3. Be able to switch between windows in the operating system. Use the keys’ shortcuts.

4. No previous experience with 3D modeling is required.

5. No previous experience in Robotics is required.

6. You want to program robots and are not afraid to struggle with the difficulties of learning it.

7. Minimum previous experience with text-based programming is required. Ideally, you are able to make a program that performs basic maths operations with numbers. The programming language itself is not important.
