On February 1st, 2019…
Our g4g Makerspace events are all about creativity, engineering, and design... while simply having fun! To do so, we invite 20 girls and boys aged 9-14 to our headquarters in Brussels once a month on a Saturday morning. It's the perfect opportunity to explore a new theme & make all the science behind "making" come to life! Parents are most welcome to join the fun, too.
The Biomimetic & the virtual images - February 1st, 2020
Join us as we travel through biology, physics, and history in order to learn what biomimetics is and how it has helped inventors of the past, present, and future to create optical devices that have changed human life such as the microscope, the video projector, the 3D projector, and more!
Together, we will dive into the physical laws of light reflection that enable us to create virtual image. We will discover the biological characteristics of the eyeball and the physical law behind the functioning of an obscure camera, giving kids the opportunity to become young engineers and build three inventions that they can take home with them.
Which inventions ? Get ready… kids will built a microscope, a hologram pyramid and a video projector, all of which will become theirs to take home at the end of the morning!
Come to build them with us!
