Spend time with industrial designer and artist, Gijs Gieskes, to create mechanical solar-powered instruments
This event is FREE and all are welcome, but booking via Eventbrite is essential.
In the workshops, Gijs Gieskes will guide you in building a stick instrument using a beambot circuit. If you have another idea for a device you’d like to create with the circuit, you’re welcome to build that instead.
We will use freshly cut wooden branches to construct the instrument. Examples of possible builds can be found in the links below. If you already have an idea in mind, it’s best to bring any necessary materials so you can start building right away.
What you will learn / Who is this for?
– How to connect motors to a solar panel
– How to create moving structures from wood or other material
– No prior experience with electronics needed
Workshops held at Primeyarc, Market Gates Shopping Centre
The workshops will culminate in a presentation/performance as part of the main YARMONICS programme at 4pm on Saturday 20th September. This is optional. We recommend attending all workshops but it is not essential - we want you to take part when you can.
