The two numeric displays on either side are voltage displays which I hooked up to the LED. The round sphere on the left panel has a color changing LED Christmas ornament under it for effect. I created the displays from some templates I found on-line, and then, for fun, modified them with some hidden easter-eggs of teachers names and school locations. The video monitors were some hacked video panels that used to be part of a store display. The lighting effects were done using a modified Arduino controller to create the blinking and patterns. The panels used numeric counters, LEDs, buttons and switched that I had, or sourced on eBay. I could have drilled the holes, but many of the buttons were square, and I was fortunate enough to have access to a laser cutter. I then had these laser cut to size in black plexiglass. The lower part was created by designing a layout on a computer by adding holes and openings for various buttons and lights I had. The control panels were much more complex. Fairly simple in design, but it looks pretty cool. It ended up looking like it belonged in the Death Star, which I considered a plus. I added some holiday lights and put a color changing globe inside of the dome which had a really nice effect. It was made of some scrap plywood and uses a smokey security dome that I got from a store going out of business. The sensor array on the ceiling has no practical purpose other than looking cool. The room started out looking like a typical science classroom. Here are some of the basic elements of the room, and how they were made: I used maker skills that ranged from 3-D printing, to computer controlled routers, to coding and electronics. Best of all, I got to learn a lot of new skills in the process of creating this. Let’s face it, building a science-fiction based room is any geek’s dream build, and if you’re a student coming to a startship classroom, hopefully it makes learning even more fun.
