Open Build, Show & Tell - Aug 7, 2012

 

Fab Lab - Open Build Session - 3:00 to 6:30 p.m.

The MCC-BTC Fab Lab is offering a special afternoon/evening open build session for Fab Lab members and non-members.

Yardstick Catapult Build

We have several people asking to build a desktop catapult. For this project we are using yardsticks, wooden dowel rods, a rubber band and plastic spoon. We will work on skills to make mortise and tenon joints that hold the catapult together. We are offering this project at the MCC-BTC Open Build session and will be repeated at one of our regular HMS Beagle Build Night

Show & Tell - 7 to 9 p.m.

Last month's TinkerCad presentation had to be rescheduled to this month. We have Dan Green and son coming out to show us around TinkerCad, this is a free 3D design web app. The program is capable of taking your designs and outputting them in a format that can be printed up on a 3D printer like the hign end printers at BTC or MakerBot and Mendel printers.

Show Us Your Project

As usual, bring your project out to show what you've been working on and share with our Show & Tell participants.

Bristle Bot Build

Looking or a fun little project you can share with kids? Bristle bots combine the fascination of robots with a few inexpensive and easy to find parts. To build this you can either buy one of the Radio Shack vibrator motors #273-0107 or bring a broken cell phone to harvest its vibrator, a 3 volt button cell battery, and a toothbrush. If you choose to harvest the vibrator motor from a cell phone plan on extra time and the need for some miniature size screwdrivers.

Show & Tell - 7 to 9 p.m.

We will be looking at how the new $35 Raspberry Pi computer could change the way students learn about programming or providing inventors with an easy way to create Internet enabled prototypes.
