Jeffrey’s Portfolio

Hello. My name is Jeffrey Wang, a pending 10 year old working in Fab Lab, which stands for Fabrication Lab, a program that lets young entrepreneurs create electronic projects. This program is sponsored by MIT, and I’m in the San Diego campus .

I’m taking a Fab Lab STE{+a}M course right now, which is Electronics and Microcontrollers. My current course is also in collaboration with UCSD, University of California San Diego. If you were wondering, STE{+a}M stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math + art.

I have worked on many projects here, and can name a few.

Built:

-Series & Parallel circuits

-Programmed an Arduino microcontroller

-Used buttons, switches, multimeters, and a potentiometer

-And learned tons of code

You can find my code here: http://pastebin.com/hR9r3Kq0 for the ultrasonic rangefinder.

You can find my code here: http://pastebin.com/XmtrEHN7 for the sound powered lights.

Recently I have been working on a new project – an ultrasonic rangefinder.

Although this sounds very fancy – it’s actually relatively easy. Using ultrasonic waves, my project is able to determine how far, in inches or cm, something is from it. I’ve also worked on sound powered lights. By hooking up a speaker to LEDs, I can make LEDs blink in a certain way based on how loud something is.

MIT’s Fab Lab is a cool place to be – where I’ve learned the basics of electronics, microcontrollers, and programming. The following is the Arduino Uno I use in Fab Lab. And, of course, there’s fab lab itself. Then, there’s a sideways rangefinder.

This the Arduino Uno.

Fab Lab!

This is my ultrasonic rangefinder, and the number on the display is how far, in inches, something is from it. Of course, it’s sideways!
