• Y7 RGB programmable desk lamp – $450.00
  The course entails a Year 7 Desk Lamp project that incorporates multiple disciplines of technology, ranging from engineering, metalwork, timber, electronics and programming. The project uses a variety of materials in the construction of the lamp, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, timber, and digital components. The lamp base will need to house the digital components. It will be designed according to a chosen theme, using the laser to engrave an image. An Arduino Uno microcontroller will be used in the construction of this project with several components including a programmable RGB LED strip and switch. Program code will be uploaded, tested and used to control the RGB LED strip to flash, and or different light sequences . Tooling, templates and preparation requirements for the project will also be demonstrated.
