Workshop: RGB lamp

Build an RGB lamp whose intensity for each color can be controlled using your smartphone. It is a rewarding project that also fits perfectly within the Internet of Things (IoT)!

This is a great project to integrate with optics lessons, particularly when discussing colors. The RGB lamp toolkit is also available through this website. Click here for more information about the toolkit.

During this workshop, you as a teacher will go through the entire process needed to replicate this activity in the classroom with your students. Starting with the underlying photonics theory and ending with the creation of a working RGB lamp prototype, you will gain hands-on experience with the complete workflow. Color theory will also be covered.
