4 Super Easy Budget Friendly Projects for Your Makerspace
Rating
0.0 stars

"Here’s some of my favorite budget friendly projects for makerspaces. Note that while I am in a middle school, I’ve seen all four of these projects done at both the elementary and high school levels. It might take some scaffolding and adjustment, but they can definitely be done at any level." - Diana Rendina

Make Stuff Move - Analog Meter
Rating
0.0 stars

Analog meters are all around us!. They are used to visually represent measurements and data. One of the most common analog meters is the fuel needle in a car. This converts a reading of the fuel level in the tank to an empty to full reading on the meter.

In this build, we will use one servo to build an electronically controlled meter. We will first simply use the knob on the control the board to move the needle converting the knob position to movement of the needle. Then, a sound sensor will be connected to convert sound level (ie music) to a meter reading. This will make it what is commonly known as a “VU-meter”

SKILLS + GOALS
Carpentry
- Use of basic tools and hardware
Construction
- Following visual assembly instructions
Code
- Understand math/code behind converting input readings to output readings (meter)
& more!

Make Stuff Move - Flinger-Drummer
Rating
0.0 stars

This build works out to be useful in two ways; flinging stuff and drumming on stuff. The overall concept is to increase the inertia of the moving servo by quickly snapping the cable tie to flick the arm. The mechanics of this build is modeled after a foot pedal used in a drum kit.

The flinging aspect is just fun. Fling coins, buttons and ping-pong balls. When using the animation recording feature of the Animate Shield, beats can be recorded an looped including adjusting the speed.

SKILLS + GOALS
Construction
-Build the project following assembly instructions
Music
-Animate a beat
Carpentry
-Basic carpentry principals and hardware
Coding
-Learn about using delays in code to control movement timing
& More!

Make Stuff Move - Flower
Rating
0.0 stars

Build a mechanical flower that opens up when there is light. This flower uses a few interesting mechanical movements including a push-pull cable to convert rotational movement into a linear movement for a flexible stem. Then the movement is converted back to rotational pivot points to open and close the pedals. The use of the binder clips also means that you are free to create your own flower petals.
