MakeRoom's July School Holiday STEM Workshops are now live!

This school holidays we’re running three awesome one-day builds around Wellington:

1) The Voice Changer
Build a handheld voice recorder, save sound files, then twist and transform them with fun effects - plus you can control it from any computer!

2) The Mega Alarm
Design and build a portable multi function personal alarm system with multiple sensors, lights, sound, and plenty of hands-on electronics.

3) Ancient Runes Puzzle Box
Create a mysterious puzzle box that needs code-breaking, electronics, and a bit of ancient magic to unlock. Only you know the code to release what is stored inside.

Our holiday programmes are open to young makers aged 10–15, run from 9am–3.30pm, and everyone takes home the project they build.

Come build your own Fibre Optic Lamp!

After our Raumati Pop Up STEM Workshop, we’re heading over to Masterton for the next stop in our growing series of regional MakeRoom workshops.

This awesome project harnesses the power of Fibre Optic cable to create an amazing array of light effects. Slightly different from the cable you'd have bringing internet to your house this variant has 'side glow' so not all the light from the multicolour LEDs in the base is bounced down to the end of each length. Pressing the onboard button cycles through the 12 different effects as well as turning the unit on and off. There is also a dial that controls overall brightness - because in a dark room this thing is quite bright!

WHERE: Wairarapa College Library
83 Pownall St, Masterton

WHEN: Sunday 21st June, 9am–3.30pm

Open to young makers aged 10–15. $135 for the day.

A full day of practical STEM, creativity, and glowing maker fun.
