Build a 21st Century Phenakistiscope
Build a 21st Century Phenakistiscope
Join Joe Pardue in building an Arduino controlled motorized phenakiscope.
This project was specially designed to briefly introduce novices to some of a makerspace’s tools: lasercutters, 3D printers, microcontrollers, motors, LEDs, soldering and basic electronics. All the components needed to build a phenakistiscope will be provided. This workshop will be very informal. We will begin by building the phenakistiscope and then have discussions of technical aspects of the project based on the student’s interests.
