Learning how to solder w/ proper soldering techniques is a fundamental skill every maker should master. In this tutorial, we outline the basics of soldering irons, soldering stations, types of solder, desoldering and safety tips. Whether you’re building a robot or working with Arduino, knowing how to solder will come in handy. FREE EBOOK (PDF) – Learn To Solder Guide (17 pages) If you were to take apart any electronic device that contains a circuit board, you’ll see the components are attached using soldering techniques.

Soldering is the process of joining two or more electronic parts together by melting solder around the connection. The good thing about learning how to solder is the fact that you don’t need a lot to get started. Ultimate Makerspace Guide For Schools and Libraries. Home.

Introduction to Basic Electronics, Electronic Components and Projects

In this tutorial, we’re going to give you a brief overview of common electronic components and explain what their functions are. You will then learn about schematic diagrams and how they are used to design and build circuits. And finally, you will put this information to use by creating your first basic circuit.

What are Monthly STEM Challenges?

Spark Imagination in Your Library: With Monthly STEM Challenges

STEM Challenges are any project/activity that involves STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) Projects can be very high tech (involving robotics, coding, computers, 3D printing, etc) or can be low tech or no tech (recyclables, paper, cardboard, pipe cleaners, straws, etc.) Students are given a basic idea to complete, materials, and rules for completing, but must figure out the how on their own.

Les adorables papertoys créatifs d’Haruki Nakamura : GOLEM13.FR

Il viens des mots « Kiru » (couper) et « Kami » (papier). Expert dans l’art du pliage et du découpage papier, le japonais Haruki Nakamura a réalisé de nombreuses sculptures adorables. Dans un premier temps, le kirigami nait en Chine où l’on pratiquait de nombreuses techniques de pliages et de découpage du papier. Il se répand ensuite au Japon qui lui donne ses lettres de noblesse en le développant notamment dans les cérémonies religieuses et dans les temples où un éclair en papier trouve souvent sa place. Passionné d’Origami et de Kirigami, l’artiste Haruki Nakamura a réalisé de nombreux papertoys fous et créatifs. 21st Century Lab & Makerspace at School Outfitters.

Years ago, when my son was in high school, he came home with a robotic arm that he’d made in class.

Making an Impressive Working Robotic Arm from Cardboard

I was in the process of writing a book about robotics at the time (The Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Building Robots) and was absolutely tickled by the design of the bot he brought home. They were studying hydraulics and had built robots using little more than some 1/2″ pine board, 10ml needle syringes, plastic tubing, and water. I think I had more fun playing around with it than he did. I hung on to it and still have it in my robotics collection today (right next to my Armatron and Super Armatron). This project, by the mysterious group of makers known as The Q, utilizes the same basic design as my son’s robotic arm except they substitute cardboard for the pine lumber. Here is the parts list they provide: Cardboard, 8 10ml syringes with rubber pistons, a dead AA battery, 4 lengths of clear plastic hosing, Popsicle sticks, super glue, water, and patience.

There are a ton of products and supplies out there and it can be overwhelming to pick the right ones especially if you are just starting out. One of the first steps you should do before spending any money is to talk with the people who will be using your makerspace. Some schools and libraries have done formal or informal surveys to capture this data. These surveys can help to determine what projects and areas of interest people are most excited about. 100+ Makerspace Materials & Products w/ Supply List - Makerspaces.com. 100+ Makerspace Materials & Products w/ Supply List - Makerspaces.com.

Partners, Pitfalls, Stolen Equipment and False Spies: An Interview with Design that Matters, Part 2. Here in Part Two of our interview with Design that Matters, Tim Prestero and Malory Johnson sound off on the pitfalls of designing for social impact, how to assess user feedback, what it's like working with design newbies, the future of their current project, and what young designers seeking long careers should consider.

Tim Prestero experienced his while working with a group of Special Forces operatives. A former Peace Corps volunteer and then-PhD-candidate at MIT, Prestero's original life plan had been "to fix the world as an environmental scientist," he explains. "Instead, I wound up working on shallow water mine countermeasures" due to funding circumstances.

"It's the middle of the night, I'm 40 miles off the coast of New Jersey with a team of Navy SEALs launching our robot that looked like a torpedo. And I had this moment of clarity like 'What the fuck? "They were really nice guys," he adds of the SEALs, "but it was weird. ‘Makerspaces’ for science instruction also proving helpful for English learners. Credit: PAT MAIO / EDSOURCE TODAY Fourth-grade students at Wilson Elementary School in Sanger, Calif., participate in a makerspace activity, which many education experts say helps these English Language learners build their language skills.

‘Makerspaces’ for science instruction also proving helpful for English learners

Educators are finding that the new “makerspace” movement – a strategy to teach K-12 students science, math and technology through hands-on activities – is providing the added benefit of helping English learners become more proficient in the language. In makerspaces, students gather a few times a week in a separate classroom, library or museum for a group project using such technologies and materials as 3D printing, robotics, microprocessors, textiles, wood and wires to construct robots and other electronic gadgets.
