Name Badges, Circuits, and Ramps


Week 2 of MakerClub had members making name tags, exploring squishy circuits, and building obstacle courses for Sphero and Abe (or Dash robot). 



The planned activity this week was to have kids make their own name badge. The kids had a good time creating their badges out of random materials such as paper, cardboard, duct tape, markers, and random small toys.  



Many of the kids had fun collaborating, communicating, and working as a team to build an obstacle course for the Sphero and Abe. The kids worked so hard getting it all built only for the Sphero to run out of juice after their first attempt :( 
(see video below) 





The other half of the group had a great time creating circuits with the littleBits and the squishy circuit kits. To make your own squishy circuits check out www.stthomas.edu/squishycircuits/


These girls were hard at work making a movie on the iPad. They worked hard all week writing the script and were very proud of the movie they made tonight during MakerClub! 
Move to be posted soon.
