Silver award: how steady is your hand?
In this independent research project students investigate the properties of materials, electric circuits and electronic devices in order to design, build and test a device to measure the steadiness of someone’s hand and the factors that affect it. Students will need to consider:
- What materials will they use, and how will they cut, shape and stick them together
- How long the course be and how complex to make it
- What diameter hoop to use - or investigate the use of hoops of differing diameters
- What electronic components they need, and how they make the circuitry, considering the power supply, input device, processor and output device.
- techniques such as soldering?
