UPDATE: Thanks for all your interest everyone! This month’s gadget building workshop is SOLD OUT!

In this workshop, participants will learn how to construct a circuit that gathers solar energy and releases it in bursts, and then use it in the creation of a small, light-powered, vibro-bot. These Bugbots will respond directly to the intensity of the light that they are exposed to, using solar energy to power two vibrating pager motors. On a sunny day they will skitter about frantically… On cloudy days they will move intermittently as they build up energy.

During the course of this workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of solar-powered electronics and circuit construction. Each participant will solder their own circuit board and build a Bugbot of their own to take home. Participants need no prior experience in this field. Just come with a willingness to learn!

Registration for this workshop is limited to 15 participants, so sign up today!

It will be on March 13, from 1 – 5, and will be taught by Christian Cerrito Resident Researcher Interactive Telecommunications Program, NYU. His website.

LOCATION: Solar One is located right along the East River, south of E.23rd St, beside the FDR Drive at the northern end of Stuyvesant Cove Park. To view map and directions, click here.
