Light Value Visualizer Program

 

Tired of Students not knowing what to do with light sensor values?

Tired of them not knowing which is bright value and which is dark?

Introducing the Light Value Visualizer!~

With this nifty program, the students can see the intensity of the light using the value bar and the current light sensor value, to record the light values!

No more annoying beeps-and-boops of the Try-me! programs.

And with the push of the buttons, record the light sensor values! (Yeah.. no more bending over)

Super useful in tight spaces where you cant see the screen!

 

Press the Left Button to record the Dark value

Press the Right Button to record the Bright value

Press the Orange Button to Reset the Recorded values

 

Available for download HERE!

Snapshots will be uploaded soon, so stay tune!

Robotics Workshop @ Society for the Physically Disabled

On the 8th June and 10th June, a 2-day robotics workshop was organised at the Society for the Physically Disabled(SPD) for the students there to learn more about basic robotics. Many students from SPD participated in this workshop, aided by our volunteers, making this a huge success!
By involving the students in this workshop, we believe that it will contribute to their growth as creative, socially adept, confident and well-rounded individuals.

This workshop is held in collaboration with Tribal Studioz, and supported by Infocomm Accessibility Centre & Juying Primary School. The volunteers are students from Juying Primary School as well as Robo Academy.

Below are some pictures taken during the workshop.

So what are you waiting for? Come volunteer with us and do your part for the community!

NJRC 2010 kicks off!

Be sure to catch all the robots live in action at the Singapore Science Centre starting today!

How to get there:

By Bus:

66, 178, 198, 335 – It’s hard not to notice the Science Centre. Just look out a huge round sphere at the entrance or simply ask the driver
