This Week In Maker Classes: Engineering Basics For Spanish Speakers and Valentine’s Infinity Mirrors

We have so many exciting opportunities to learn coming up on MakerCampus! I just keep getting surprised by the cool stuff available. This week, being the lead up to Valentine’s Day, has an especially interesting class that is sure to bring a smile to someone’s valentine.


Introducción al diseño de prototipos de ingeniería y programación usando Tinkercad Circuítos y Arduino Uno

– En este taller, aprenderá como desarrollan los ingenieros sus prototipos, comenzando con el diseño digital o virtual, el cuál es elaborado en el programa CAD (Diseño Asistido por Ordenador), donde ellos también pueden hacer pruebas de sus prototipos mediante simuladores para posteriormente construir y programar el prototipo físico.

– Construirá nueve (9) prototipos utilizando el programa Tinkercad Circuitos, aprenderá a programarlos, hacer pruebas, y como una extensión opcional podrá construir el prototipo físico con Arduino. Aprenderá también la programación básica en lenguaje C/C++, variables, bloques de sentencias, asignaciones y comparaciones, circuitos eléctricos, diseño digital, electricidad y física, como calibrar y usar sensores usados en diferentes áreas de ciencias, e innovación en programación para un mejor uso de sensores y componentes conectados a microcontroladores.

Make an infinity mirror Valentine’s box with a secret compartment

For Valentine’s Day or anytime, turn a heart-shaped candy box (or other cardboard box of your choosing) into an infinity mirror box that hides a secret compartment for storing candy or other goodies!

An infinity mirror uses an optical illusion to create an endless tunnel of lights. We’ll use a few easy-to-find crafts supplies and electronics parts to create a box that fools the eye.
