Electrical Makerspace

Whether building basic electric circuits or more intricate computerized components, the Electrical Makerspace at the Wond’ry provides the tools and materials for building both electric and electronic devices. The Electrical Makerspace supports both the hardware and software aspects of design, providing resources and support for planning and soldering components, programming and app creation, and the integration of these two disciplines in the creation of prototypes.

Available Equipment - Physical Prototyping

  • Soldering Irons

    The basic tool for electrical and electronic work, the soldering iron allows for the melting of solder metal to connect wires and components.

  • Fume Extractors

    These desktop-mounted vacuum devices suction up any smoke or airborne residue created from the soldering process.

  • Magnifiers

    A variety of microscopes, mounted lens, and screens allows for the visual magnification of the small components used in handcrafting electric and electronic devices.

  • Helping Hands

    For those times when two hands are not enough (always), these extendable, positionable gripping devices allow components to be held in place while working on them.

  • Measuring Tools

    A variety of scopes and meters used to measure voltage, amperage, resistance, and other important indicators of electrical function.

  • Breadboards

    The basic template for circuit design, these small plastic sheets are the frame that electrical components are added onto.Ìý Available in a variety of sizes.

  • Infrared IC Heater

    This "microchip oven" is used to bake electrical components, adhering them together.

  • PCB Printer

    This printer allows for the creation of personal circuit boards, the more finished, customized versions of a template breadboard.

  • Hand Tools

    Tiny screwdrivers, pliers, cutters, non-static tweezers, and other analog implements for work on electrical devices.

  • Components

    Wires, resistors, transistors, buttons, switches, jumpers, capacitors, pins, fuses, batteries, motors, LEDs, servos, actuators, meters, chips, memory, sensors, and all the other materials needed to make an electric or electronic device.

Available Equipment - Digital Prototyping

  • Virtual Reality Headsets

    Meta, Oculus, and other models of virtual reality gear, available for use.

  • 3D Modeling Software

    Our makerspace computer stations are equipped with 3D modeling software such as CAD, Solidworks, and Blender.

  • Image Manipulation Software

    Makerspace computer stations are equipped with the full Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop and Illustrator.

  • Video Game Collection

    A variety of consoles and video games available for investigation, including Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Famicom, Nintendo 64, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and XBox 360.
