Race your toy car by pointing its light sensor to the sun. Instructors can use this toy to teach about solar panels.
The demo shows the implementation of a mobile quiz, that when answering correctly the phone's flash light is lit and acts as the sun. Therefore, the winner actually answered correctly and faster.
Created during a 24-hour MindCET Ed-Tech Makeathon 2015.
Team:
15-16 year-old makers
a Bezalel student
a few excited parents
one psychologist that works with Bedouin people (Desert natives).
One car is ready. It got rebuilt 2-3 more times before it became stable enough to go :)
Racing with 2 cars is a crucial part of the experience
The props to build one car
First tech working
First try outs in the real light (or dark, depends how you look at it)
Working late night. Guys are tired, but I just managed to push them a little extra :)
