既上次Sunny Sun老师在新车间推出深为孩子们喜爱的“导电面团”以后,这回我们又推出了更为方便,好玩的“纸电路”。纸电路是MIT High Low Lab开发的新奇互动电子艺术项目的一个子项目。它成功的将表面贴装发光二极管(LED)和艺术结合在一起,制作出各种互动的电子卡片。看看下面的这些纸电路作品,你带能猜出来我在说什么了。
说到艺术和电子,千万不要被这些名词吓倒了。纸电路的推出,实际上是将以前复杂的,乱糟糟的电路艺术化。在这里,电路里面的一根根导线绝不再是面无表情,深沉的隐者,而是变成了可以随你的控制,改变形状,改变路线的翩翩舞者。只要你愿意,你可以将电子线路摆成心形,摆成小车,甚至可以融入到您孩子的的艺术创作画中,让电路和您孩子的艺术创作融为一个有机的整体(其实,本人觉得,相对于导电面团,这个项目女孩子应该会更喜欢了)。
除此以外,由于电路本身使用的材料都非常安全,也非常容易获得,大部分原材料你在厨房里拼拼凑凑就可以开始你的电路工作了。从此,孩子们做手工再也不需要花费大量的时间准备材料了。同时由于材料的简化设计,纸电路为孩子们安全玩电路提供了保障。
在此次工坊, 我们将提供所有纸电路需要的全部材料。您和您的孩子将在电路中将学习到
1) 什么是纸电路
2) 孩子们将会在制作一个基本纸电路的过程中明白电路的基本原理
3) 制作纸电路需要注意的事项
4) 纸电路材料从哪里获得?
5) 活动的最后,孩子们会有一个自由创意时间,通过基本电路的掌握,孩子们将发挥自己的创造力,创造出他们自己的纸电路,并带回家中。
6) 同时为了方便孩子们回家继续创作,每个孩子将获得一个材料包,里面有一些家里不容易获取的材料。
活动时间:
10月20号(周六)下午2~4PM
活动地点:
上海新车间: 上海市长乐路1035号2楼(长乐路,乌鲁木齐南路路口)地铁7号线出来步行10分钟即到)
活动收费:
每个孩子:100元(陪同大人免费),通过新车间网站报名 90元(点击活动报名链接即可报名)
最大报名人数:15个孩子
其他要求:
孩子年龄:最好6岁以上,操作过程中可能会使用到剪刀,需要家长帮助。
注: 纸电路(paper circuit)是美国MIT 互动媒体实验室开发的互动电子电路。此次活动得到了发明人 Jie, Qi的指导和准许。再次,也感谢MIT Media Lab和Jie, Qi的无私奉献和指导。

By popular demand we _didn’t_ move last weekend, in-fact this is the last week in the space. we’re moving and nothing will stop us this time, hopefully by Sunday the 15th we will have lights in the new space! otherwise some members of XinCheJian will be hanging Blue and Red Florescent lights near the windows. If you would like to help with packing, 8pm @ XinCheJian on this Saturday or 8:30am on this Sunday @ XinCheJian for the move, spread the word!
Today, Wednesday we have the /ultra-mega-wow-wednesday, a spectacular!/ we have Mitch Altman the Grand-daddy of hacker-spaces along with visiting Hackers, this will be the ultimate Wednesday that you will only kick yourself if you miss, check out the section below titled “Recent changes at XinCheJian” for more updates at the space!
This evenings confirmed presentations: 3D implants, microcontroller hacks and “car-radio-be-gone”.
Wednesday Presenters
Mitch Altman is a San Francisco-based hacker and inventor, best known for inventing TV-B-Gone remote controls, a keychain that turns off TVs in public places. He was also co-founder of 3ware (a Silicon Valley RAID controller company), did pioneering work in Virtual Reality at VPL Research, and created the Brain Machine, one of MAKE Magazine’s most popular DIY projects. For the last many years he has been on the road from hackerspace to hacker-con leading workshops around the world, teaching one and all to make cool things with electronics and teaching everyone to solder with his open source hardware kits. Mitch is one of the co-founders of Noisebridge, a San Francisco hacker space, and President and CEO of Cornfield Electronics.
Mitch will talk about his newest project “car radio be gone!” also ask to see his hackerspace passport!
Tobias Schneider, I am an electrical engineering student at Technische Unversitaet Muenchen. I’m interested in embedded electronics and light installations. I was part of the AllColoursAreBeautiful art installation in Munich, which was partly funded by the city. Recently I was involved in producing eco friendly, rechargeable electronic name badges for a big German maker/hacker convention. I’m going to present this name badge at the Maker Carnival in Beijing and give a workshop to create own addons for the badge.
Florian Friesdorf, I studied electronic engineering and system ergonomics at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), Munich, Germany. For about two years now, I’m a fully self-employed Munich-based software developer mostly working
with python and javascript. While I earn my living developing software, I’m exploring to extend that to haptic user interfaces involving wooden blocks, equipped with touch screens and sensors to measure their relative position. One application would be the hierachical modeling of workflows in health care. In cooperation with the The Department for Human Factors Engineering and Product Ergonomics at the Technische Universitaet Berlin, Germany an open source software was created. I now want to produce arduino-based prototypes of the haptic UI and am looking forward to the Maker Carnival to share thoughts and ideas. When not in Munich, I’m on sprints and hackerspaces around the world.
Jimmie Rodgers, I am a full time hacker, maker, circuitbender, etc. I design open source hardware kits, as well as teach a variety of workshops, and give talks on many topics that interest me. I travel and run workshops quite a bit! My most popular kits are the Atari Punk Console, a simple and fun sound generator, and the LoL Shield, an Arduino shield with lots of LEDs on it! I am co-founder of Artisan’s Asylum, a huge hackerspace in Boston.
Charles Paul, I am an IT consultant from New Orleans, LA. Currently the lead software developer at Pixt.com. I consult, design, develop and deliver non-trivial solutions for tricky problems; doing this in the past for Charles Schwab, Hewlett Packard, Wells Fargo, and the largest class action firm in the USA, among others. In a previous time I was also employee #1 at Metrix:CreateSpace, and am currently involved in a similar endeavor here in New Orleans. I am very much looking forward to visiting China and better learning the language!
Yair reshef, An art technologist and educator, consulting some of the leading art and design institutes in Israel. In this capacity I help promote creative technology in the arts and vise verse. A recent such example is fabrication of an hepatic car wheel for a year long collaboration between Bezalel academy of Arts and General motors. as an educator I give workshops and help people experience rapid prototyping of electronics and code. My students ranging from small kids to teachers and faculty. Coming from Israel, I keep a close watch on our start-up culture, and am always amazed by the power of a few committed talents to bring things to be.
Simon Schubert , I’m an EE major converted to Computer Science PhD student, currently studying in Lausanne, Switzerland. While doing my EE studies, I balanced myself by being a developer for the DragonFly BSD Operating System; now that I’m doing Computer Science, I picked up electronics as a hobby. Besides being a member of our local hackerspace, I am a (inactive) HAM radio operator and I keep dismantling and hacking various electronic and mechanical items in my house. My latest venture is a cheap, compact and powerful microcontroller development platform, the MC HCK (http://mchck.org).
Simon will be giving a talk on micro controller hacks
Jacob Rosenthal, I’m a freelance embedded and erstwhile web and database developer. I’ve spent the last two years founding and educating at the Phoenix Arizona hackerspace HeatSync Labs where I am still on the board of directors. My personal interests include body computing and modification, 3d printing, and electronics. I am passionate about making the future practical.
Jacob will be giving a talk on 3D implants!
Recent changes at XinCheJian
Membership is now Just 100rmb per month per member, for an additional 200rmb a month you can also store your projects/stuff in the space in a box that does not exceed 50x50x30cm, you can contribute more money if you want as a donation. Failure to pay membership will result in your junk being stored at XinCheJian becoming a donation to the space. XinCheJian will no longer offer community parts but instead sell them in sets, for example 10 resistors for 1rmb to cut down on waste and mess. Members will have access to the space and the tools, strangers must be accompanied by a member at all times and will be responsible for that friend during that period at XinCheJian.
