Minor Get Connected

Stadslab Rotterdam is organizing workshops for the minor Get Connected about prototyping in the FabLab and VR-lab.

 

Workshop Make your First VR Experience                                                      

Wednesday 8 May 10:30 - 12:00

During this workshop you will learn about the possibilities of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality and you will make a start with a first VR or AR experience. We will make use of the software Cospaces and Fectar to design an immersive experience, with low-code or no code at all. No skills are required to participate, just bring your laptop and smartphone.

 

Workshop 3D printing

Monday 13 May 13:00 - 14:30

Have you always wanted to use a 3D printer? For example, think about printing your name or logo on a key ring or a small miniature. During this workshop in the Stadslab you will learn how to print your own 3D models with a 3D printer. You design or edit a 3D model in the Tinkercad software and then print it yourself in small format. Don't forget to bring your laptop!

 

Workshop Microbit                                                      

Monday 13 May 13:00 - 14:30

The Microbit is a small microcontroller with which you can easily program an interaction. You can make all kinds of prototypes, such like small lights or audio, but it is even possible to create a chatbot with the microbit! During this workshop you will work on controlling various outputs, such as light and sound, using simple code language. Bring your laptop with a USB A connection (if you only have USB C, bring a connector!)

 

Build your VR/AR experience part 2                                                   

Thursday 16 May 10:30 - 12:00

This is not really a workshop, but a VR consultation. You can continue developing your VR or AR experience with the help of a VR-lab steward. The session will start with a brief stand-up about what you want to make and what you need help with. 

 

Workshop Lasercutting                                                      

Thursday 16 May 10:30 - 12:00

Do you want to learn to use the laser cutter to cut wood or plastic? For example, consider a nameplate with your own engraving or 3D objects such as a box or holder for your phone. During this workshop you will learn how to prototype this with the laser cutter! You will create a file in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape and then engrave it or cut it out with the machine. Take your laptop with you and install Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape.
