cq university makerspace mobile kit

CQUniversity Makerspace mobile kit (not included: marble run design kit (physical forces and movement); craft design kit (fabrics, board and artefact design); basic woodwork kit (production of a wooden artefact, sawed, sanded, drilled, painted and mounted). Each kit comes complete with instructions and links for extending knowledge). Many of these kits are low cost or free, and can be assembled by students and teachers anywhere.

Recycled plastic jewellery design and production (working with tools, technology design process, risk assessment)

Lego WeDo (Physical computing) – I still need a computer

Basics of Bread-boards and circuits (leading to physical computing and Arduino)

Paper circuits (leading to physical computing) with links to art and design. Extension activities involve microcontrollers, can use the Arduino computers for this purpose.
