Fringe Activities

12.30 PM - 2.30 PM, SUTD Campus Centre, Level 2 

Musical Staircase

The Digital Design and Development club (3DC) has "musicalised" the main staircase at the SUTD Campus Centre with a simple circuit design, an online program and a set of tools known as "Makey Makey" to brighten up the environment. Feel free to step on the acrylic boards and compose a jingle - it will not only make your day, but those around you as well! When you are done, visit our booth to find out more about us, chat with our members and make something fast with the very same set of "Makey Makey" tools! You will be surprised at how fun the creation process can be!
 

The Digital Design and Development Club (3DC) is a congregation of technology enthusiasts, geeks or anyone who simply has an itch to change the world around them with technology. 3DC helms a myriad of computer science-related projects - from creating a central voice-controlled home automation system, an AI-powered smart mirror that responds to the user, to having outreach programs that teaches programming to secondary school students.
 
Create your own solar bug

A solar bug is a simple toy powered by solar panels. With some simple soldering, a solar panel can run a vibration motor, facilitating the bug’s movements. All these can be done without a battery! Join us to create your very own solar bug from scratch here! SUTD Energy Club is involved in all things energy, but we have a particular interest in green energy projects.
