Have you seen pedal powered speakers and always wondered how they work?
Do you want to make your own system to charge small items or generate power?
We’d love to work with you on a one off two session workshop exploring how to make a bicycle generator to charge items with pedal power!
Global Grooves who run The Vale have lots of adapted items e.g lasers and lights which are now battery operated and we need an efficient and sustainable way to charge these on site at events. With the help of a Saddleworth Community Hydro grant we’re going to make 2 bike powered charges and we want you to be involved.
Week 1 – A solution finding and design session, to plan how to create a bike generator in the next session. May involve sketching, brainstorming, creating a team plan.
Week 2 – Will be about making, building and problem solving. At the end of this session we should have a working prototype. We aim to generate some electricity via pedal power and have a list of tweaks to improve the technology.
Sign up for free here (maximum 10 attendees per session). Ideally attending both sessions to get the most out of them. Age 14+
