BRAINSTORMING
Goal → Create an object for a museum that is mathematically or scientifically interesting
→ Design an information panel that describes how to use the object and explains the science which makes it function
Level up is a start up that:
→ Focuses on STEAM education and the communication of science (in particular physics)
→ uses AR, VR, 3D print, laser cutting and experiments to achieve its goal
DOCUMENTATION
We started the day by looking at the presentation of the client and continued thinking about our target, defining our goal and then starting brainstorming. During the brainstorming we put together a list of topics of each scientific subject (chemistry, biology, physics) and we thought of ideas until we came to one that seemed interesting, but at the same time feasible with the materials we had. After a lot of work, we
On the morning of the second day of ALL, thanks to a discussion with Marzari, we came to the conclusion that our original idea wouldn't have worked and that the object we needed to had to be a non-Newtonian fluid.
After a little research, we found that we needed:
180 ml of water
250 g of corn starch
After confirming verbally with a professor that there was corn starch at school, we decided to compose the non-Newtonian fluid on that same afternoon. Upon attemping to make the no-newtonian fluid, we ended up finding out there was no corn starch at school and so we started the afternoon working on the documentation, starting the presentation and making the information panel.
In the morning, Matilde took care of designed our group's site. The site will present the initial brainstorming and the two fundamental ideas for our project.
During the lunch break Renzo went to buy corn starch. In the afternoon the whole group concentrated on producing the non-Newtonian liquid. We put 250 g of corn starch in a bowl and then gradually added 180ml of water. The result was satisfactory. After we managed to get the school's speaker to work, we added the non-newtonian fluid over a transparent film which we placed on the speaker. We started by using a microphone on the speaker and the liquid stayed still but after trying the bass the liquid moved. In conclusion, despite some small complications the experiment succeeded.
In the morning we met up to make sure that all the points set for the day before were completed and we then finished the meeting by giving each out a couple of tasks.
Angelica took photos of the crate with the non-Newtonian liquid and continued the documentation.
Renzo went to buy the corn starch.
Adam did the presentation and translated the documentation.
In the afternoon Adam and Matilde tried to redo the experiment a new theory, where you put the film higher than the case so as to make the liquid move more. After this fail, we made a backup video of the experiment working in case the day of the celebration it would have failed.
