Summary

Participants will learn how to create an electric circuit without cables but using conductive tape and sticker LEDs. Also, they will learn how to fold origami sheet into the shape of a sheep. 

 

After conducting this workshop, participants will be able to:

Construct a functional electric circuit.

Learn how to construct an electric circuit using conductive tape and LED sticks and battery coin.

Learn the difference between open and closed circuit.

Learn the technique of folding origami sheets.

Understand how a 2D sheet can be transformed into a 3D shape.

What You'll Need

1- Cardboard card (containing engraved numbers and lines, indicating the order of folding and where to fold + containing a drawing of the structure of the circuit where it should be placed).

2- Coin battery.                

3- Copper tape.            

4- Sticker LED.

5- Colors.

6- Glue guns.             

7- Glue sticks.                     

8- Wood sticks.                  

9- Double faced tape.                       

10- Stancil sheets (pre-cut to stickers in different shapes and colors).

 

The Instructions

Presentation

Participants will discuss what they will be doing in this workshop, the theme of it, and the final product.

1-   Who are we and what we do (Studio 5/6)?

2-   Ice breaking activity using origami sheets.

3-   Introduction to digital fabrication concept and

tools.

4-   Discuss what we will be doing today; Origami integrated with electricity.

5-   Introduce the Origmi art.

a.    What is the origami.

b.    What is the meaning of the word.

c.    Where it comes from.

d.    What do you need to make it.

6-   Explain why we are making the shape of a sheep; as Eid Al Adha is coming in few days, which is the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year.

7-   Discuss how we can transform a 2D paper into a 3D object by folding.

8-    Discuss what we will be building today

9-    Show the components used to build the circuit.

10-  Learn the difference between open and closed circuits.

11-  View the final prototype.
