Attraverso questo laboratorio i partecipanti esploreranno il mondo del making realizzando oggetti e invenzioni elettroniche. Scopriranno le componenti di un circuito elettrico e impareranno a prototipare tanti progetti che prendono vita e interagiscono con l’ambiente circostante con led, sensori, motori e materiali conduttivi. I bambini e le bambine avranno l’opportunità di ideare e realizzare per la prima volta soluzioni creative e invenzioni elettroniche sul modello delle attività di supporto alle missioni condotte dalla Base Logistica delle Nazioni Unite di Brindisi. L’obiettivo è consapevolizzare e sviluppare le capacità digitali e tecnologiche per risolvere problemi e gestire imprevisti legati alle missioni di pace.
Durante la settimana è prevista una visita alla Base Logistica delle Nazioni Unite di Brindisi.
Thanks to this course, participants will explore the concept of making by creating objects and electronic inventions. They will discover the components of an electronic circuit and learn how to prototype many different objects to make them come alive and interact with their surroundings through the use of led lights, sensors, engines and conductive materials. Children will have the opportunity to devise creative solutions and electronic inventions drawing inspiration from support missions conducted by the United Nations Logistics Base in Brindisi, Italy. The goal is to raise awareness and foster digital and technological skills to solve bigger issues and to manage disruptions that might occur during peace missions.
During this week, you will take part in a day trip to the UNLB in Brindisi.
