Magical and Playful STEM

Overview:

This project consists of few different physical and installation games and toys that will be presented during the final degree show at Goldsmiths (2023). 

The games and toys are meant to be educational as well as entertaining and invite physical movements and play by participants

1. STEM Educational Toys: They explore phenomenons such as persistence of vision, 3D printing, Arduino programming with LED lights, building mehacnical toys with motion

- Automatas - mechanical wooden toys

- Arduino powered 3D printed Magic Wand

- Programmable LED

- 3D printed parts

2. Digital Interactive Installation Game:  It involves physical movement and explores the ideas of play and be expressive using body to draw, alternative controller for a game etc. 

- Created in Python programming environment

- AI : computer vision that tracks a prop (ball)

- Web Cam, Projector, Physical Prop (Ball)
