IDIYA Labs Summer Camp Commences

This summer IDIYA Labs continues its educational programming beyond the school year with 5 weeks of STEAM summer camps.

Wearable Tech – Week 1camp-masksJUN8

We started our summer camp with a week of making wearable tech. Kids fashioned light up gloves and masks. They also made augmented reality (AR) t-shirts. After filming music videos of puppets that they built with scrap electronics, the group cast their music videos onto the AR t-shirts by looking at them through a tablet with a program called Aurasma.

 

Build a Musical Instrument – Week 2

Otis's guitarAt the second week of camp, kids created didgeridoos and flutes from PVC pipes. This was a great chance to teach the use of measuring tools and talk about our new “saw stop” saw, which defies the logic of power saws by stopping instantly if it comes into contact with skin.

We roped in our CEO Domenic and Shop Manager Joe for a jam session on our mega monolith of assembled musical instruments. Kids finished up the week by incorporating robotics into a capacitive touch sensor piano!

Do you have or know a young one that needs something to do this summer? Sign up for our summer camps and give them a fun, immersive experience that blends science, technology, and art.
