Digital event: scroll down to watch the recording

Join in today (previous sessions on-demand) and get ready for the Oxford Light Festival, creating your very own moving lantern.

Get ready for the Oxford Light Festival by creating your very own moving lantern. This weekly workshop series will help you build your own creative circuit with sensors that control LEDs and motors, using tools like Tinkercad to combine art and engineering.

Workshop 4 introduces remote control with a Photoresistor, also known as a light dependent resistor (LDR), sensor and using serial monitor to adjust the sensitivity of your interactive circuit. It shows how to upload code from Tinkercad using Duino.app and control a LED using the ambient brightness of your room.

Suitable for ages 7 – 12, teenagers and adults. We recommend families work together.

Six live video sessions will be recorded to watch again on if-oxford.com
