ACOA (Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency) Funding Announcement!

I took this opportunity to make a device that many of us had seen before in our maker circles, The Big Face Box! This project is the perfect mix of cardboard, circuits and lenses. It is a great example of how Maker Ed and project-based learning can be successfully incorporated in the classroom and tied to curriculum. For this project you will need: - 1 file box - Ruler and pencil for measuring where to cut - Canary cardboard cutter (https://www.canary-usa.com/) - Duct tape - 1 extra large full page magnifier sheet (at least 8.5x11) - I got mine at the drugstore  - Microbit - Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip w/ Alligator Clips https://www.adafruit.com/product/3812 - 30 neopixel strip with alligator clips (1 metre long) Thank you for watching, if you enjoyed, be sure to like and subscribe for all things Brilliant!

You may have heard about Brilliant Labs, but do you really know what it is and why it's important to the future? It's more than tech... It's a movement that is inspiring youth to be problem solvers through hands-on learning. --- #bigfacebox #brilliantlabs
