Craft the City, POPIN’s community art project for 2015, invites everyone to contribute to building a miniature cityscape. The elements in the cityscape could be inspired by real places in our surroundings or from memories. They could also be completely imaginary- a creative take of what you associate with the city or things you hope to see in the city.

There will be craft gatherings open to the public to make little building blocks using a variety of crafttechniques including: painting on wooden blocks, cut¬out cardboard constructions and sewn embellishment on felt blocks. We hope the public will enjoy the slow process of crafting as well as the creativity and interaction that happens during the gatherings.

Learning to crochet, kids learn about creating with yarn, yarnbomb benches and some of the other fixtures. Conducted by YarnbombersSG
Saturday, 11th July, 11am-3pm. Suitable for 12 and above. Pre-register at http://ptix.co/1K3ZPcv

This hands-on seminar seeks to familiarize you in the fields of controls, mechatronics, robotics and embedded systems with the new NI myRIO. During this seminar, attendees will physically setup an NI myRIO, write an embedded program in LabVIEW, and visualize the results. Please bring along your own laptop

The exercises show how to leverage graphical programming for stand alone, deterministic systems so you can apply what you learn during this seminar to your own applications.

Since inventing Strawbees, we have discussed it’s true application. First, It’s the best 3D prototyping tool in the world, making sculpturing in 3D and building your own massive toys and structures possible.

But when we see what kids (and grown ups) invent, we are astonished. We have seen two meter high marble runs, cardbord airplanes, dragons, umbrellas, three meter high optimus primes, pinball games, boomerangs, frogs, birds, airplanes, flying kites, bridges and four meter high towers. Science has never been more fun, and when understanding basic physics and mathematics, even bigger constructions are made.

Water powered machines have been in use since early civilization. The Greeks ad Romans used hydraulics to make aquaducts, mills and even in mining. In this workshop, participants will pick and build one simple hydarulic machine of their choice. They will learn how to design, build and control their machine. Lots of woodwork - cutting, riveting, drilling etc. Safety glasses will be provided.

Catch one of the many workshops on 3D technologies - one of the key technologies behind the maker movement.
