and this elective!
first elective day program - kite making session
emergency!!!!! Energy is ...
intro
lunch talk by Sandrine
tree seeds
making a delta
a small zero waste kite: https://airlaboart.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/zero-waste-open-source-hackable-micro-kite-design/
trying out kites by....wind....running
making the Indian bana kite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8cI7EN97oU&t=279s
adjusting kite properties
intro microcontrollers
- making a drum machine
reflection on learning
showing other energy harvesters
second elective day program - electro motor session
intro electricity from magnets and spools
demo special generator spool
making spool from copper wire
magnet
study difference
- electro motor
- generator
- stepper motor
kite theory
making propeller
checking with volt meter
again microcontrollers
connecting to the microcontroller maybe?
reflection on learning
improving kite making
- color the kite surface
- put text on the kite surface
third elective day program - making a bigger delta kite
critical making
and a tail
add the electro motor plus propellor
fourth elective day program - testing kite + electrometer system
