Motorized turn table

Photobooth 360

This project is based on a motorized turn table which uses a motor to move the table at a 360-degree angle.

In this project we learned how to make a motorized turn table, we have developed this project with the help of a circuit. The motive of this project by our Manaskriti minds was to develop a cheaper way to help and motivate the small vendors out there in our country, to display their products in the market. Our teacher, Tripti Maam has helped us in developing our design and explaining us the function of our plot.
Materials we used and their function:
The materials we used to make our project a success were: 
Motor: A motor is a device or machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, typically through the generation of rotational motion. Motors are commonly used in various applications, such as in electric vehicles, industrial machinery, household appliances, and more, to perform tasks like driving, pumping, or turning.
Barrel Jack: A barrel jack, also known as a DC power jack or coaxial power connector, is a type of electrical connector commonly used for supplying direct current (DC) power to electronic devices.
Power adapter: A power adapter, also known as a power supply or AC adapter, is a device that converts electrical energy from one form to another to provide the required voltage and current for operating electronic or electrical devices. It typically takes alternating current (AC) power from a wall outlet and transforms it into direct current (DC) power suitable for powering various consumer electronics, such as laptops, smartphones, and other gadgets. 
PWM Regulator: A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) regulator is an electronic device or circuit that uses PWM to control the output voltage or power of a system. PWM regulators are known for their efficiency since they can rapidly switch the power on and off, allowing precise control of the output voltage. 
Switch: A switch is a mechanical or electronic device that is used to open or close an electrical circuit, thereby controlling the flow of electrical current.

About Makershala

Makershala is a Learning by Making ecosystem for kids from age 8-16 to help them discover their interests, develop future skills and deepen conceptual understanding. Makershala follows the Project Based Learning approach as its way of teaching in which kids work on authentic, real life & personally meaningful projects.


Kids work on these projects in different educational settings, namely; self-learning; online 1:4 Peer to Peer with a mentor; or in a school. Projects are categorized in different interest segments like Robotics, Coding, Electronics, 3D Printing, Animations, Photography, Machine Learning, Astronomy and many more.


Each project is mapped with classroom concepts, 21st century skills, UN sustainable development goals and interests/careers to not only focus on holistic development of a child but help them identify their calling by giving them exposure to problems that exist in the real world.


Why Project-Based Learning

Project-Based Learning has the potential to solve many of the learning problems we see today beyond foundational literacy.

  • Ownership: Learners have complete ownership on what they need to know to solve a problem and come up with the best solution in the best way. It can be a concept or a software tool or a skill. Kids involved in projects are never required to be told to study.

  • Interdisciplinary: Unlike traditional learning where subjects are taught in silos and learners develop a perception of liking or disliking a subject. In project based learning, the given problem is supreme and it may require to know something from maths, science and history together.

  • Experiential learning: We generally retain 75% of what we do as opposed to only 5% of what we hear and 10% of what we read, hence PBL helps kids retain what they learn.

  • Lifelong learning: The most important gift that PBL gives to its learners is to make them lifelong learners as this is the most required skill to lead a good life, personally & professionally.

  • Skills & Knowledge balance: Project-based learning doesn’t focus too much on memorizing information, rather it equally demands practising life skills to be able to do better in projects.

How Makershala Works
  • Parents and Kids who wish to start their journey with Makershala, are suggested to pick one interest area of the child and then choose a plan.

  • Parents and Kids after enrolling in a course based on their interest are assigned a batch. Each batch has 3-4 learners and 1 mentor.

  • Each course has 6 guided projects and 1 challenge project.

  • During the project, formative assessments are conducted to evaluate learner’s knowledge & skills.

  • On completion of a project parents and kids get a learning report which indicates the skills and knowledge developed/displayed by them.

  • Kids also build their portfolio which showcases problems solved, solutions created, skills developed, knowledge acquired and technologies learnt.

  • Kids earn rewards in the form of badges, points and coins for their performance in a project, course and overall.

  • Kids are maneuvered to take up courses and projects from different learning segments to gain more clarity on their interests. This eventually helps them in picking up a career.
