Glow your own (6/6) (2024)

Digital event: scroll down to watch the recording

Get ready for the Oxford Light Festival – www.oxlightfest.com – 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 6 concludes the programme by adding a servo motor, providing movement to a digital project, controlled with coding variables and simple maths to make the motor go backwards and forwards. It also mentions some projects featured in the Oxford Light Festival (15-17 November 2024).

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
