Decided to make graphene. Using Robert Murray Smith’s method from YouTube I set up everything to produce graphene by the “Electrochemical exfoliation of graphite” followed by sonication to break up the tiny exfoliated graphite particles into a reasonable proportion of graphene. The process involves 2 graphite foil electrodes in a solution of sodium sulphate with Read more about Anzac Day 2022 in the lab.[…]

I am still wanting to get the old Science Club up and running after school but lack of time and venue have held it back. Any SC alumni wanting to help? Please let me know. Victor Harbor Lutheran Church Centre have a room I will look into using. I will post any changes here. Brenton.

Not a lot happening with the Science Club this year. Many ideas and resources are accumulating in my shed and I plan to get some after school activities running next year in one form or another. I will try to get some form of online survey page set up with projects listed so you can Read more about 2020 December check in[…]

Starting to put together some ideas for new projects for 2020. I will create pages under the “Projects” menu, so have a look.

Brenton Rowland here again to prove Science Club is still alive…a bit. A year has passed and the Encounter Lutheran College has had Makerspace lunchtime activities most of this year. The restarting of after school workshops for STEM motivated students has not yet eventuated but I am hopeful that 2020 will see these up and Read more about December 2019 – revisit[…]

Brenton here just touching base on the old Science Club.  It’s been 5 terms since we stopped meeting and I do miss it.  James and I have completed selling up and moving to a new house and my collection of useful stuff is … everywhere. Hope to get an after school meeting going again in Read more about Encounter Lutheran College Makerspace[…]

Hi.

I just finished soldering up 6 sets of modules that make up the electronics of a Laser Tag gun. Power supply SFX Sound generator LCD Trigger microswitch MOSFET driver and IR LED IR sensor dome The picture shows my prototype all wired up but as its the only one, I don’t know if it actually Read more about Laser Tag Guns – 6 kits of electronic modules ready to assemble[…]

Just pointing out (and this is tiny) – the ‘photo’s’ button at the top of the page, It should be ‘Photos’ without the apostrophe. Just being a grammar fanatic.

The Laser Tag prototypes are ready to be built.  All the hardware is in stock for 6 guns and the Arduino prototype code is prepared. The first IR sensor dome fitting has been built and tested – 6 more need to be soldereded up and glued together – any Science Club volunteers?  This picture shows Read more about Laser Tag project page updated with a few more details[…]
