Student Maker Workshop
The Actua Maker Mobile is a moving makerspace packed with cutting-edge technology that encourages youth to experiment with hands-on learning and create their own innovations in real-time.
Actua’s Innovation150 Maker Mobile will be visiting Perimeter Institute to kick off our joint cross Canada Power of Ideas tour for Innovation150. Actua’s maker workshops will appeal to students in grade 6 and up. Space is limited in each workshop to 30 participants.
Workshop 2 - Internet Everywhere
Hardware and software come together in this programming and design challenge. Using visual “ block” programming participants will write simple programs and then build physical interfaces to interact with them using little bits, makey makey and Arduino microcontrollers, all customized to the age of the participants. Youth will interface with weather stations to create programs that alert communities to potential weather hazards.
