Hacksburg is developing child-friendly activities that can be picked up by community members while schools are closed.
- Ideally made using Hacksburg tools and require no special tools to complete at home
- A crafting project with a STEM or learning focus
- Simple enough to be completed by a school-age child
- Project ideas can be recorded here or sent to board@hacksburg.org
- Assemble a coronavirus out of laser cut felt pieces
- Includes instructional materials on how viruses work and parts of Coronavirus
- Viral Envelope: Outer layer of the virus. They may help viruses avoid the host immune system
- Spike Glycoprotein: Allow the virus to bind to receptors on the host cell
- Hemagglutinin-esterase dimer: Allow the virus to enter the host cell
- RNA and N Protein: The ribonucleic acid nucleocapsid protein contain the information that allow the virus to reproduce
Laser Cut Catapult
- As an example: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:23953
- For education could talk about parabolic trajectories, lever arm length, etc
