Long-time members and readers may remember the Great Canadian Alligator Clip and how we put it to good use keeping some librarians nicely grounded. What could we do for a patriotic encore? The answer came to us from ylab friend John/VE3IPS. We were storing some old radios in a shed, and sent him this picture. […]
There are lots of great chemistry experiments that kids can safely do, and we have some favorites! Make a chemical battery to power a light. Recreate the process Marie Curie used to isolate Radium (without the radioactivity). Make color changing paintings using natural pH indicators. See the structure of DNA discovered by Rosalind Franklin using crystallography. And in STEAM Through the Ages: Chemistry , you get to take all your beautiful results home. We will also learn about the amazing chemists, past and present, who inspired these projects.
In Fun with Circuits, learn the basics of electronics and the principles of circuitry. Students bring their learning to life by making motors spin, lights shine, and speakers blare! By the end of class, students will get to take home a real, working flashlight they built from genuine electrical components.
Welcome to the secret world of mathematicians! Mathematicians play by asking interesting questions and investigating possible solutions. Think like a mathematician, experiment with ideas, and see what you can discover. Through hands-on activities, explore areas of math not usually taught until college. Visit lands of higher dimensional geometry, tessellations, probability, and topology. From brain-teasers to creative exploration, Puzzles and Problem-Solving will engage you in the playful side of math.
A great ball contraption is a machine that receives balls from one module and passes them to another, like a bucket brigade. Students build intricate dynamic modules using VEX construction sets then combine them into a collaborative fantastic Rube Goldberg machine!
Become an engineer and make working models that solve real problems! Young Inventors Squad is your chance to design and build your own cool inventions using everyday objects and recycled materials!
Ready, set, take off! From paper airplanes to rockets, we’ll make all sorts of flying inventions while exploring aerodynamics and how things move through the air. In Fun with Things that Fly, students make, test, and reinvent catapults, kites, parachutes, and more as we explore the laws of physics and the forces that keep objects afloat. Lessons will be just “plane” fun!
Have you ever wanted to make your own robot? We’ll teach you how to make all the moving parts! In Handmade Robots and Upcycled Machines, learn about mechanics and motion using everyday materials, electric components, engineering, creativity, and problem solving. Build a hydraulic arm, an electric car, the “Big Hand,” and much more!
Fra 1.januar 2023 går vi mot strømmen og setter ned prisen på medlemskap i Horten Folkeverksted! Prisen på fullt medlemskap med nøkkelkort for alle over 18 år er nå satt til 1500,- Godt nytt år!
Are you ready for an adventure? Don’t forget your map! Maps and diagrams help us figure out our location in relation to a place, and help us discover all sorts of treasures along the way. In Treasure Hunters ! , we’ll make pirate’s treasure maps, blueprints, and physical maps! We’ll explore street maps, diagrams, globes, solar system maps and so much more.
Students enjoy entertaining and educational science experiments to gain an understanding of Physics including Newton’s First, Second, and Third Laws of Motion, Newton’s Law of Gravity, and more. They’ll build boats and rockets, make and play with marble runs and catapults, and tackle many other fun physics projects.
Build and program a real robot! Favored by hobbyists and professionals alike, Arduino is a powerful open-source computer and electronics tool for design, testing, and prototyping. In Build an Arduino Robot, students will learn the basics of buttons, switches, potentiometers, LED and motor control, and programming.
