Details

Ever wanted to build a light-following space gadget... out of cardboard?
Join us on a silly and slightly sci-fi adventure where we’ll use an Arduino, a light sensor, and a servo motor to create a “solar panel” that follows the sun (or, you know, your desk lamp).
No experience needed — if you can tell the difference between a potato and a resistor (and even if you can’t), you’re qualified.
By the end of this mission, your cardboard space panel will be moving like it’s training for a NASA audition. Great for curious kids, creative adults, and anyone who enjoys pretending they’re building the future out of recycled pizza boxes.

Warning: Contains science, silliness, and servo noises.

Please Bring a laptop if you have one.
