The physics of wing design
Do experiments to discover the best propeller design
Make a jet engine!

Hologram Wand (2020 Term 4)

Course Description

Build a magic wand that you can wave around in the air to create a holographic message!
Human vision is slow, we continue to see things even after they have moved, this is how movies and videos work.
It is called Persistence of Vision.
You will take advantage of this and create a wand with multiple LEDs that turn on and off so fast,
your eyes will think they see a message floating in the air!
