W#7 IRglove
v. Tine de Pauw
| ||
This PHABLABS 4.0 workshop is developed as a workshop for children from 15 to 18 years old. The concept of PHABLABS 4.0 is based on combining the world of Photonics with the growing creative ecosystem of existing Fab Labs. But this workshop is also perfectly usable as a STEM-project in education. During this workshop we learn the teachers how to set up this workshop in classroom.
The IRglove serves as a remote control for a certain device. An IR emitter will send the signals to a TV or a radio. A controller and a battery into a bracelet are attached to the glove.

Relevance
|
This workshop is relevant for physics or STEM teachers who teach children from 15 to 18 years old. This workshop can be used as an introduction in laser cutting and in optics/photonics (electromagnetic waves, infrared waves, ). Requirements for performing the workshop in classroom: having a laser cutter/soldering iron.

Ing. Tine De Pauw - (female) graduated from Hogeschool West-Vlaanderen as Engineer Industrial Design in 2010. After graduation, she studied for a year to become a teacher. From 2011 until 2014 she worked as a teacher in secondary schools. She taught the courses mathematics, physics and chemistry to students aged 15 to 18 years old. Since September 2014 she works at VUB for the Brussels Photonics Team and is full time working on outreach activities. She focuses a.o. on the realization of the ‘Science Show’ at VUB and the exhibition ‘Discover the power of light’, the Photonics Explorer programme and a large variety of workshops for teachers and students. She is actively involved in the PHABLABS 4.0 European projects.
