We gather together to make physics accessible for the wider public by creating DIY equipment. We made lab exercises for the students after us who want to study physics. Our project is based mostly on electricity and we hope to inspire students to stydy and progress in physics.We have developed instructions for the lab exercises so that we can ensure each student can fully understand and dig deeper into what we really do. We know that plain physics is boring and difficult for most of the students but if they make experiments the knowledge is ingrained in their minds. We are working on future projects. We have alredy developed a few simple circuit boards and we are looking forward to developing many cool stuff in many fields.

Every time we studied something in phisics class it was much easier when there was some type of demonstration or we have had the chance of doing it by ourselves. Thet's how we came up with the idea of making easy to use and maintain ciruit boards for the Electricity section.Our goal is to make studying much easier and entertaining for students by giving them the opportunity to actually feel and experiment with what they studied on paper and see that it really happens and test the physics laws for real.By making the boards and giving them to students we aim to make their knowage last longer and maybe lit a spark in them and inspire them to dig deeper into the world of physics.

After we came up with the idea we started the process of making the plan as well as the instructions for the experiments. After some adjustments we decided to make the experiments modular. The idea was to have a main power module, that had had 5 copies and some sub-modules that had corresponding instruction and needs the power module. Each of the sub-modules gives the students a chance to experiment with something new and they are made corresponding with the school program so that the students can learn and make at the same time.

When we have the plan in our heads we bought the materials and started building. But because the goal was to make easy to maintain and affordable circuits we used the most basic, but suitable materials. The connections are metal bolts that are soldered to the scheme. You just have to clip a jumper to it.The base we used is a foam-like material that was easy to cut and light as well. As a team with mostly laughter we built the modules and our job was almost completed.
