Project synopsis (a short synopsis about your group/projects)

Radio

  • Voice communication thousands of km from mountain-tops and from Pulau Ubin: building and operating portable stations.
  • Voice communication via satellite: long-range communication with small antennas.
  • Narrow-band packet radio: medium-range digital communications with AX.25.
  • Drone antenna: improving the performance of a very small antenna on board a drone.

Biospacesg//duct tape labs

Curious about experimenting at home? Tired of baking soda volcanoes, how about using microbes for power or to generate products. Or some electrophysiology with EEG, EMG and ECG. And finally about starting a home lab with some diy lab equipment and automation. This and plenty of other interesting demos and interactive activities.

Magnets

3D-printing atomic models with inserted magnets.

WaterScope / OpenFlexture Microscope:

A 3D-printed Raspberry-Pi-powered WiFi microscope. The Openflexure microscope a microscope design that uses 3D printing and the general purpose low-power raspberry-Pi to effectively re-purpose existing 'off the shelf' devices into a low-cost microscope. 3D printing and non proprietary tech enable remote locations and resource poor environments to build, service, and maintain locally. Observing the microscope is via the WiFi hot-spot it creates for itself. Multiple wifi capable devices are able to connect to it simultaneously, making shared / collaborative / class-room setting sessions viable.
**Bring your smart-phone, connect to the microscope's wifi and see for yourself! **
