Drawing Bot

Hong Kong MakerSpace for Social and Environmental ImpactWe are a cross-sectoral makerspace for innovation. We created MakerBay for makers that range from robotic companies to environmental NGOs, from mechanical engineering to traditional craftspeople, both at the same time, and everything in between. Simultaneously, we have strong focuses on individuals and organisations that are either environmental, social, and/or open-source.

Combining artistic and electronic backgrounds, the class will focus on building draw-bots; simple robots that output art. The robots are to be constructed from readily available electronics inside a laser cut frame. Electronic components are to be joined using the “twist and tape” method, allowing users to solder their connections or modify the circuit as their interest and skills progress. At the end of the workshop, participants will have their pieces of art to take home and those who wish to keep the draw-bot, can pay an addition of HKD 80 for the kit. In this workshop, you will learn basic electronics, laser cutting, digital fabrication and their use for art as well as engineering. Class Details:
