DIY LAMP WORKSHOP

Course Information

Participants will be introduced to basic electrical circuits; they will understand how circuit breakers work and lighting systems in homes. They will then apply the concepts learnt and be guided on making their own DIY lamp from raw materials like bulb, wires, 3-pin plug. They will learn how to create a closed circuit and how the wiring in a 3-pin plug works. They will then proceed to create the lamp and decorate a lamp shade for their product.

Participants will learn how a 3 pin plug works which is a very common component of an electrical system. They will wire up the circuit on their own and create a lamp. 

STEM ELEMENTS

Before this workshop, I have only seen the insides of a 3 pin plug in my textbook. Now I know how the wires are screwed onto the plug and link it to the bulb. It was awesome to create my very own lamp.
