The Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium is hosting a Programming & Electronics with Geoff & Ethan Spence in the STEM Lab.This week long camp is for middle and high school students who want to take a deep-dive into digital electronics, robotics, programming, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D printing. Participants will use the Raspberry Pi--a tiny and inexpensive computer--to learn digital circuit theory and Python programming. We'll connect and control color LED's, motors, servos, LCD displays, and more from the Raspberry Pi. We'll learn how to design 3D models using CAD software, and we'll print them on a 3D printer. We'll print the parts of a robot arm, wire it up, and control it from our Python programs. If you want to create your own circuits that interact with the real world, control those circuits with a computer, and design and produce 3D printed parts, this is the summer camp for you! The week will end with student will give a short presentation about their experience for parents and guest scientists.

Limited to 10 students, $300 for the week. All materials included. Please contact: Leila Nordmann: lnordmann@fairbanksmuseum.org
