INSPIRE EDUCATE IMPROVE

Activities
All Young Fab Academy projects are delivered in a fun and engaging way by Fab Labs experienced team, and have been designed to inspire young people to think creatively, use initiative and help with future education and career choices:

Design and make a remote controlled robot

Design and make a football playing robot, creating your own personalised model in 2D design software before using a laser cutter to bring your ideas to life. Compete against other robots in a challenge to see the last robot standing!

Build a mobile phone boom-box docking station

Build a Fab docking station, turning your mobile phone into a bespoke boom box using a computer controlled milling machine to engrave a bespoke speaker system. Wire up the speakers, amp and other components and create a light emitting strip using LEDs to bring it all together.

Create a light-activated funked-up music box

Using the principles of electronics and design, build a circuit board, solder components together, programme a micro-controller, design a box container and choose a cool tune to complete your own magical mystery music boxes!

3D product design and printing

Design and make plastic products and working models using rapid prototyping and 3D printing. Come up with an innovative household item and wow a panel of judges with your designs, no matter how weird or wacky!
