The Tinkering Studio celebrated the school holidays with another edition of Tinker Fest from 29 May to 4 June 2017.
Based on the theme on Illusions, visitors wrapped their minds to create and explore visually-warped optical illusions. Through various hands-on activities and workshops, visitors learn science concepts through experimenting and are challenged to watch the world from a different angle.
Hands-on Activities
Science concepts like reflections, refractions and static electricity were explored through the 5 different hands-on daily activities.
Workshops
Parent-and-child pairs tinkered their creativity to create optical illusions through the different workshops happening throughout the week!
Make Your Own Magic Trick
On Monday, it is Make Your Own Magic Trick where participants make their own optical illusions and put on a show at the end of the workshop.
Shadow Illusion
On Tuesday, participants tinker with lights and objects to create a shadow story in Shadow Illusions.
Zoetrope
The Zoetrope workshop on Wednesday allows participants to produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings of photographs showing progressive phases of that motion.
Light Painting
Thursday has the participants lighting up their thinking caps to create light sources and drawing with lights for Light Painting workshop.
