Maker 3D
Maker 3D explores how light travels in a straight path and can be reflected and refracted.
Your students will learn how electrical energy can be transformed into movement, sound or light in a product system, and will develop media production skills to communicate ideas through manipulation of images and sounds.
Maker Arcade
Our Maker Arcade program has been our staple program since we started back in the mid-2010s. With our general ‘making’ program or more specifc ‘make’ programs, the scope is endless. Over the years, program participants have made all sorts of games ranging from mini golf holes and skee ball games to ten pin bowling, basketball and soccer.
Maker Makey
The Makey Makey is an invention literacy tool. Invention Literacy is “the ability to read and write human made stuff”. It means you’re able to look at the world around you and think about how something works and how to make a new version of it. Or to make something else from it.
Maker Motion
Making and reinventing are core pillars of the MakerDojo philosophy. Our Maker Motion programs are designed to engage and educate students about forces, specifically around push and pull objects to start or stop motion and change direction of travel. And how to physically manipulate materials to suit a particular purpose.
Maker Music
Makey Music explores how to use materials, components, tools, equipment and techniques to safely make designed solutions. Students will sequence steps for making designed solutions cooperatively.
