Ever thought about making a lamp? This speed run lamp design session will cover the basics from light source, and control mechanism, to enclosure and lamp shade design. You will learn about:

1. Arduino Basics
2. LED types
3. Simple LED control circuitry
4. How to slice your model for 3D printing
5. How to laser cut acrylic/cardboard with Illustrator Files
6. Basic Concepts of CNC machine

• For 3D printing and laser cutting, shop training is MANDATORY to operate the machines. Please take one of the shop training sessions before attending this session

• Attending this session DOES NOT mean you have learned to operate or have access to the CNC machine during the camp. CNC can be a complicated process and due to time limits, I will only be demonstrating the process for a basic understanding of CNC.

Please bring the following components if you have them already:

1. BreadBoard + Jumperwire
2. DC wall plug 12V (Shop/ER has limited supply)
3. Arduino of any type + cable to PC (Shop has limited supply)
4. Computer with Arduino IDE installed
5. Sensors that you'd like to use for the input of your lamp (Shop/ER has limited supply)
6. Anything you'd like to use for your lamp design

I will provide LED strips. Bring yours if you prefer!

In the 1st session, I will focus on Arduino Basics, LEDs, and circuitry.

In the 2nd session, we will go into the basement/shop for our fabrication workshop. It's strongly recommended to attend both sessions if possible.

Extra notes:

*A little survey of what's your expectation! Please fill it out to help me prepare for the sessions
