Demonstration Experiments and Activities Related to Microtechnology See also the Open source handbook on Microtechnology. This page is currently a brainstorm - detailed activity descriptions will come. Please add comments and ideas! Brainstorm for New Activities Make cakes 'lithography style' Play with acceleration sensor and make your own sensors Recreate the first transistor (piece of semiconductor and cut gold foil) Lego Mindstorm programmable toys Experiments with Optical fibers - light through running water to introduce the concept Solar cells - make your own and compare to commercial ones Light emitting diodes -band gaps and materials properties as fct of temperature Webcams and their IR sensitivity Webcams, can they be used to detect a radioactive source? Maize starch in water for microfluidic demonstration?
