SDGzine special edition 08 St George's Summer Camp session 2

Inspiring Young Innovators: a Summer of Sustainable STEAM Projects

I am really pleased to share the achievements of our Summer STEAM Camp, powered by Addictlab. Celebrating the end of a really great summer, we proudly showcase the creative efforts of our young campers, guided by the principles of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).

The spirit of innovation and creativity is blended with a deep commitment to sustainability. Our campers, were immersed in several diverse STEAM projects that addressed real-world challenges aligned with the SDG’s set forth by the United Nations. Each project was devised with the intention of creating a better world.

From crafting renewable energy prototypes

and designing eco-conscious architecture, to implementing technological solutions for waste reduction, our young minds demonstrated exceptional aptitude across the STEAM disciplines. It was impressive to see young people from all round the world come together and create solutions to global problems as a team.

My huge thanks and appreciation to Addictlab for the creativity in first turning our school into a STEAM lab, then running an exceptional program and then sharing this incredible magazine documenting the achievements. The expert mentors and cutting-edge resources inspired our young innovators which I hope will be for some of them the start of a bright future in a rapidly changing world.

I hope you enjoy looking through this magazine and witness young people working together to create a sustainable, brighter world through the lens of STEAM.

Warmest regards,

Duncan Robinson Summer Camps Director

STEAM: a journey of innovation and sustainability

As the St. George’s Summer Camp Assistant Director and the proud coordinator of the STEAM program for the past five years run by Addictlab, I am delighted to share with you the inspiring journey of innovation and sustainability that our campers embark upon each summer.

In today’s rapidly evolving world, nurturing young minds to become critical thinkers and problem solvers is essential. At St. George’s Summer Camp, we are committed to providing an exceptional learning environment that goes beyond the traditional classroom setting.

Our STEAM program, which focuses on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, embraces the values of out-ofthe-box learning, while working on projects like coding, robotics, 3D design and 3D printing, cyanotype, stop motion film making based on the Sustainable Development Goals and many more.

One of the core principles that we uphold is the significance of interdisciplinary problemsolving, while building environmental consciousness. By integrating sustainability into our curriculum, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and care for our planet in the young minds of our future innovators.

Through hands-on projects and creative challenges, our students learn how to harness technology for positive change.

From designing and constructing robots to get plastic out of the ocean to creating engineering based constructions such as Ruby Goldberg machines, our young participants are empowered to develop solutions that address real-world challenges in sustainable ways.

It is our belief that STEAM education, when combined with a focus on sustainability, not only equips children with cutting-edge skills but also fosters a sense of purpose.

The impact of our STEAM program reaches far beyond the campgrounds. By encouraging our campers to think innovatively and sustainably, we are nurturing a generation of responsible global citizens who are passionate about making a difference. These young innovators are the driving force behind tomorrow’s advancements in renewable energy, waste reduction, environmental protection, and more.

I am proud to say that, over the years, our students have surprised us with their exceptional creativity and resourcefulness. They have developed innovative prototypes that have the potential to reshape industries, all while keeping sustainability at the core of their work.

As we look to the future, we are excited to continue our mission of nurturing young minds through the STEAM program at St. George’s Summer Camp, as we pave the way for a brighter, more innovative, and environmentally conscious tomorrow.

Alexia Athanasiadou Summer Camps Director Assistant

Turning the school into a lab.

The last 5 years Addictlab has been involved in organising and rolling out the STEAM activities at the St George’s International School during the Summer Camps in July and August. STEAM is Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics, but I tend to believe we go beyond that. This year, we went another step further and I am very proud of the confidence we get from Duncan and his team.

Our SDGFabLab at the University of Geneva serves as a research center to build a holistic vision on education. The concept of mixing creative disciplines has been my field of interest for the last 26 years, combing art, fashion, design, technology, sustainability, engineering and more.

So we have turned the school into a lab, with over 10 locations with different disciplines and trained facilitators. The art room, the VR room, the computing lab, the WASTE lab, the robotics room, the chemistry lab: it’s all part of a plan to inspire and teach a lot of children from different cultures and backgrounds.

Organisation

How do you do this? We need a truly talented team. And an innovative lesson plan combining tradional tools and state of the art devices.

And boxes. Lots of boxes. Because behind this all is a modular and mobile creative lab concept: at Addictlab we now have about 150 boxes with different techniques, tools, machines and devices.

All of them tested, not just for one student but to be appropriate for bigger numbers. All is organised in a database, linked to another database of activities we can do with those tools, in line with the SDGs, the Sustainable Development Goals.

Documentation is key.

There is just no discussion: the Sustainable Development Goals need all our attention. We want your kids to be ambassadors for a sustainable future. That’s why our activities are in line with and based on the SDGs.

As part of our educational model, we create magazines. To document best practices, to highlight great ideas, to pass on knowledge. The SDGs have added an important navigation system both through addictlab’s lesson plans as through this SDGzine.

A remarkable editorial room.

The covid egg, a sitting object that has been installed in the school’s theater, serves as our editorial room. It’s a proof of digital fabrication we can do in a lab like ours. And it’s also a way to showcase the SDGzine to a larger audience.

Your children.

But it’s all about your kids, to be frankly. How can we accelerate their talent? How can we prepare them for the future, and let them build that future sustainably?

We bring so many different experiences and boxes, that I am sure that all kids will find something that triggers them personnally. That’s our Steam team’s mission.

I am very proud to present you this special edition of the SDGzine, as it’s proof of your kids talents. Sometimes their talent is clear, in full sight. Sometimes it’s hidden. Let’s make sure together it doesn’t stay unlocked.

Profiling: We know what we teach, but do we know who we raise?

The Creative Chemistry Table was created 26 years ago by Jan Van Mol when he founded Ad!dict Creative Lab. The aim is to merge creative disciplines, to be inspired by other fields and cultures, and obtain more depth in the creation process.

Through the years leading up til now, Ad!dict Creative Lab or short addictlab, has conducted a large amount of brainstorming sessions, published over 35 books or magazines, and set up ideation processes for companies and organisations from Thalys trains, Lexus, Diesel, the chocolate and design industries, to governments and cities as well as institutions such as the University of Geneva.

Today, the Creative Chemistry table consists of 145 disciplines or human ‘capabilities’, 76 character cards, the 17 sustainable development goals and more. This card set is a concrete package from a proven methodology to allow groups of people and individuals to think out of the box. It’s a unique tool for collective intelligence.

All students of the Summer Camp use these cards to profile themselves. What do they like? How do they see their future? What is important to them personally?

3 boxes.

1. Creative Chemistry cards. About 145 creative disciplines. Divided into 14 categories, these are fields where we can be creative in. From photography to medicine, from tattoo to government. Categories go from Public Sphere, over Communication to Critical Thinking.

2. Character & profiling cards. About 50 character cards based on the IB profile (International Baccalaureat). Cards on a person’s character and learner. ‘I am curious’, ‘I like to share’ and more.

3. Sustainable Development Goals cards. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals as defined by the United Nations for 2030. We added 3 cards for an easy visualisation of the impact you create while designing or having ideas: how will your idea create a positive or negative impact on each of the 17 SDGs? And how can you adapt that idea?

More cards.

Emotion cards.

8 basic emotions cards. Evident to use for personal profiling , but also because our ideas or ideation capabilities will be influenced by current, past or future emotions.

Gender cards.

To allow diverse gender profiling we added ‘male’, ‘female’ and ‘other’ genders.

Senses.

5 senses cards adding all 5 senses for future use.

IP Cards.

Currently, the Addictlab Academy is joining forces with WIPO (world intelectual property organisation) to add IP protection, patents and help to protect your ideas to the card set.

The Art Room

Book binding.

Documentation is key. We want students to learn to draw.. not just for the art sake of it, but also to document and share their ideas. Sketching is an important step in that. ideation process.

So what’s the first lab activity: learn to use the ancient technique of book binding, for each kid to create her or his own sketch book.

1. Material Prep

The first, and easiest step in the book binding process is the titular material prep. Every student selected a minimum of four coloured pieces of A4 paper, which would be folded in half to make a total of 8 pages in the book, Then, these pages

would be aligned with the edge of a piece of A3 card, and secured in place with a binder clip. And so, the notebooks were ready for the next step.

2. Needlework

This step was the most difficult for the vast majority of students because of the nature of it. Still, students persevered. To bind a book’s pages to its cover, three holes are poked through the cover and pages, held by a binder clip for alignment. One in the middle, and two more 5cm above and below. Then, students would thread their needle through all three holes with a back stitch, then tie a double knot to ensure the integrity of their project.

3. Success

Throughout the rest of the camp, students used their own creations to record valuable reflections on classes, helping them to better their STEAM abilities and to recognise their areas that require improvement.

The Art Room

3Doodler.

One of the surprising but highly popular and tools are the 3D pens.

These pens use PLA (biodegradable corn based) and fit the plastic free campus concept. They are also part of Addictlab’s workshop ‘drawing in 21st century’ as it’s the stepping stone between conservative drawing and sketching, and the virtual reality world.

Addictlab uses these pens to let kids create in 3 dimensions, just as the 3D printing machines do, but in ‘free hand’.

Also, we learned that these pens were captivating for kids with ADHD and autism. Because of this, these tools have become an incredibly important teaching tool and introduction to 3D printing in our inclusive lab.

The speed of the drawing, for example, is not controlled by the student, but by the motor of the tool, creating a mesmerising experience.

Lavender Weaving

Bringing the lab outside and the outside into the lab. The Addictlab Outdoor Academy adds an important ecological aspect to our lab, and respect to nature. In this case, students harvested the school’s lavender to turn into a nice smelling wand that will make your house smell of the French provence or Swiss Riviera for years to come.

What you need:

freshly picked lavender stems (13 for the wand shown in this picture.

• - 6mm ribbon x 1.5mm

• - thread or tiny elastic band

• - scissors

Note: For these lavender wand instructions, you need an odd number of stems to achieve the alternating weave pattern.

Instructions:

1. Strip all the leaves from the stem.

2. Line up the bottom of the flower heads and tie them together. You can use tiny clear hair band or thread works too.

3. Tie the ribbon over the thread/band. leaving a short tail of about 30 cm long at one end of the ribbon and the rest on the other.

4. Next, create a cage. Turn the bundle upside holding the flowers in your hand and pinch the bunch where its tied.

5. Gentle bend each stem down around the blossom heads. Score the underside of the stem section that is being bent with your fingernail to avoid snapping.

6. When all of the blossoms are encapsulated by the stems, pull out the long end of the ribbon, leaving the short tail tucked inside.

7. Start weaving the ribbon under and over the stems. Gently pull on the ribbon to make sure weave is tight. Most challenging part of this process is the first two rows of weaving. On the second row, you should be going UNDER the stems that you had gone OVER on the first row.

8. Continue weaving until you have covered all the flowers. Use toothpick to push buds that stick out if necessary. Wrap the ribbon around the neck of the wand and tie it off.

9. Finally trim stems to the same length.

Notes:

Harvest lavender in the morning once any dew has dried. Aim to harvest stems that are at least 30cm long. Lavender wands can last for many years. As fragrance fades, squeeze or rub the baton in your palms to release more scent.

Sand Art

Students created beautiful multicoloured sand art during these two weeks. Sand art uses a template of sticky paper with different sections, like a colouring book. The Sand comes from South Africa.

To make the art, different sections of the sticky paper are exposed for coloured sand to stick on, creating areas with different colours until the artwork is finished.

Designs available to students included an owl, a robot, a fairy, a dragon and more. This was one of the most enjoyed activities of the entire STEAM curriculum for the younger ones.

The Lab

Cyanotype

Cyanotype (from Ancient Greek κυάνεος - kuáneos, “dark blue” + τύπος - túpos, “mark, impression, type”) is a slowreacting, economical photographic printing formulation sensitive to a limited near ultraviolet and blue light spectrum, the range 300 nm to 400 nm known as UVA radiation.

It produces a cyan-blue print used for art as monochrome imagery applicable on a range of supports, and for reprography in the form of blueprints. For any purpose, the process usually uses two chemicals: ferric ammonium citrate or ferric ammonium oxalate, and potassium ferricyanide, and only water to develop and fix. Announced in 1842, it is still in use.

Students of the Summer camp first prepare the solution and create a canvas. Next, they draw.

The drawing is then copied on a transparant film with black markers.

The drawing is then fixed on the dried canvas. This all happens inside, away from the sun and UV.

Next step: go outside and expose canvas and drawing to the sun. The time of exposure can vary depending on the season, clouds, weather, time of the day. There is testing to be done.

To finish the exposure, all papers need to be washed under running water.

The Makerspace

A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a smallscale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication.

A fab lab is typically equipped with an array of flexible computer-controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make “almost anything”. This includes technologyenabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production.

While fab labs have yet to compete with mass production and its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely distributed products, they have already shown the potential to empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are not practical or economical using mass production.

The fab lab movement is closely aligned with the DIY movement, open-source hardware, maker culture, and the free

and open-source movement, and shares philosophy as well as technology with them.

During the Summer Camp, Addictlab turned the schools dance room into a maker space, and brought in machines and tools that are used in FabLabs all over the world.

The makerspace contains a laser cutter, vinyl cutter, soldering stations, hands on tools to allow smal scale devices, and prototyping.

It is also a place where our students from very young will learn to use an electric saw, screw drivers, and even soldering.

Makerspace Projects: Steady Hand Game

This game is a lesson combining diverse skills needed. The goal is simple: move your device around a metal wire. Touch it, and a buzzer goes off.

It’s basically an electric circuit to construct, but it also involves learning how to strip wire, measure, bend metal, saw and drill.

The older students use soldering as a technique to connect the wires. The young ones are going through their first screw driver experience.

There is room for customising as students can decorate their very own Steady Hands Game.

Steady hand game

Interview with Thitinunn

How is the Steady hand game made?

To make the steady hand game we needed to first understand how to stay safe in the makerspace and how the tools work. The many rules to keeps us safe were to not run around, be aware of our surrounding, use the tools how they are supposed to be used, etc.

We had to use many tools to make the steady hand game. We used both a philip’s screwdriver and a flat-head screwdriver. We also learned how to use pliers and wire stripper.

To start the project off we were given a piece of ply wood. Then we stick a template to the wood so that we can make sure to put our screws in the right place. We needed to poke holes in the ply wood so that we could insert the screws. Then we installed a batery-holder, some wires to

the wire connecter and a buzzer. After that we used a wire stripper to strip some of the wire to create the hook for the steady hand game. The last step was designing the wire to play the steady hand game.

The great thing about this is that we could make it as easy or as difficut to our liking. To shape the wire into our desired shape we would use pilers. After all of that was finished all we needed to do was decorate the ply wood with some markers.

What did you learn?

I have learnt how the steady hand game works with electrical circuites. Another thing I have learnt from the steady hand game is how to use the many tools provied in the maker space like the 2 types of screw drivers (Phillip`s screwdriver and flat head screwdriver) and what they are used for, meaning the wire stripper and more. I have learnt how this project links to the many aspects of STEAM

(Science, Technology, Enginering, Art, Mathematics). In particular, this project links to Technology, Enginering and Art.

What was the most difficult part and what would you improve?

The most difficult part of the project was shaping the metal wire because it was strong. This made it hard to shape to my desired shape. Next time I would use the pliers more often to help me shape the wire since it helps make the shaping of the metal easier.

Makerspace Projects: Rube Goldberg Machines

A Rube Goldberg machine, named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, is a chain reaction–type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and (impractically) overly complicated way. Usually, these machines consist of a series of simple unrelated devices; the action of each triggers the initiation of the next, eventually resulting in achieving a stated goal.

The design of such a “machine” is often presented on paper and would be impossible to implement in actuality. But that’s the challenge.

Addictlab ‘s Rube Goldberg boxes contain a tremendous amount of material. Recycled fabric, recycled wood, recycled cardboard, but also cars, marbles, balls, wood, cords, tape etc.

We implement this activity for a number of reasons.

• Collaboration: kids need to work together and agree on the techniques used.

• science and physics : research on power, friction, speed, potential and kinetic energy.

• Creativity and out of the box thinking

• Work with frustration: test, test.

• Fun. Because it’s seriously fun.

Makerspace Projects: Reverse Engineering

How do things work? What better way then to have a look inside!

Screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, protective goggles and more are made available while students work together to take devices appart. From broken computers, keyboards to toasters, hifi, it all is an inspiring discovery of techniques, old and new.

This activity is only recommended to do with a trained facilitator, as students tend to be overenthousiast and break things apart.

After the disassembly, all pieces are put in order to create an ‘exploded view’.

The 3D Printing Room

Tinkercad & Snapmaker

The 3D print room contains a number of tools to draw and create in 3 dimensions.

Lessons in tinkercad, a free intiuitive software to draw in 3D from scratch, or scanning with devices to have 3D shapes.

The designs then are sent to the 3D printer.

First challenge to all is to design their own name tag. Next steps can be the reparation of pieces to reproduce, a chess game or other objects that inspire your children.

When we do coding or build robots at Addictlab, we implement ‘coding for good’, a way to teach robotics, but with an SDG scenario.

The challenge

There is plastic in the river. Create a device that leaves its base, moves to the plastic, and brings it to the right spot in the recycling area.

Why

This project allows for a mix of creative disciplines needed to solve the challenge

1. collaboration, as students need to work together.

2. ideation & sketching. Draw your device and the functions you want it to have.

3. building. Use the Microbit or Lego Spike boxes to build your device.

The Fun in Technology

Never a dull moment with Addictlab, as learning must be fun...

What about explaining electricity by playing music with bananas...

Drawing in the 21st century: VR & AI

We want to show and teach old drawing techniques, but also new ones, such as Virtual Reality, the metaverse or AI.

Activities in VR include Google Tilttrush to draw in 3d, Google Earth to visit foreign or home countries, and Ocean Rift, an underwater experience,<

The Waste Lab

Learning About the Sustainable Development Goals

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.

At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Addictlab is managing the SDG Fablab, at the SDG Solution Space in collaboration with the University of Geneva, and the academy has taken on the SDGs as main navigation through its educational model.

At the St George’s Summer Camp, all students are learning about the SDGs through a fun tik tok like quiz (also available in this magazine).

This introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals serves as a briefing for their Stop Motion Movie making or for coding a SDG related video game.

Stop

And... action!

PLAY THE SDG QUIZ

Addictlab’s partner Dorier, audiovisual experience designers from Geneva, has been creating this SDG Tiktok quiz for an ambitious event at Palexpo.

Becoming a SDG journalist

An extra and exciting part of the Addictlab STEAM program this year is the creation of a special edition of the SDGzine. And this in only two weeks time. Every session will have its own edition. The magazine will be made available online, and there will be an opportunity to order hard copies aswell.

The SDGzine is a magazine concept launched by Addictlab and based on years of experience in magazine making wants to showcase and grow an SDGconscious ecosystem with partners, people and projects. Schools, international organisations, companies and students are all welcome to take part. To document what has happened, or to initiate what should happen.

Students of the Summer Camp have volonteered to be part of it. To help document, write, take pictures.

Des éléphants maltraités

Les éléphants sont maltraités parce qu’ils sont en captivité pour le tourisme. Ils vivent en captivité dans un environnement très mauvais en Thaïlande. Les éléphanteaux seraient enlevés à leur mère dès l’âge de 2 ans .

Une Technique ancestrale

de dressage , les éléphants sont attachés avec des cordes enfermés dans des structures étroites en bois , affamés et frappés à plusieurs reprises avec des pioches , des clous et des marteaux jusqu’à que leur volonté soit écrasée .

Activités d’éléphants

-Les éléphants soulèvent des bûches , jouent au foot , lancent des fléchettes sur des ballons de baudruche , ou encore peignent des tableaux.

-Les éléphants font trois spectacles par jour .

Les éléphanteaux

Les éléphantes sont obligées d’avoir des bébés éléphants . Les agences de voyage encouragent les touristes à visiter les éléphants , mais les éléphants sont maltraités .

L’avis du groupe

Nous détestons que les éléphants en captivité soient dans des positions dangereuses . Ils font toujours beaucoup d’activités et de spectacles .Aussi, les organisations qui maltraitent les éléphants doivent être arrêtées parce que nous aimons les éléphants .

Fait par, Abdullah Alturki et Ziyad Bin Kadasah .

La zoochose

La zoochose est un mot utilisé pour expliquer le comportement stéréotypé des animaux en captivité.

Le nom “zoochose” vient de “zoo” + “psychose”

Les causes de la zoochosis sont:

Ennui L’ennui est produit chez les animaux en captivité en raison de l’environnement non stimulant dans lequel ils se trouvent Aussi, l’ennui est provoqué par un stress constant qui pousse les animaux à la répétition permanente

Frustration

Stress Les comportements qu’engendre ce stress sont la marche, la toilette, la stimulation et le coprophile

Confinement

Manque de lien social

Les solutions

Curtains zoos proposent des enrichissements:

• Activités qui stimulent les instincts

• Empêcher la routine de s’installer

• Malheureusement, il existe une solution négative que est les antidépresseurs que l’on peut donner aux animaux

Cependant, la situation reste problématique dans les cirques et les zoos puisqu’ils exploitent leurs animaux. Mais, certaines organisations se battent toujours très fort pour la santé et le bien-être des animaux du monde entier.

Notre Opinion

Nous pensons qu’il est assez triste que les animaux en captivité doivent constamment souffrir physiquement et mentalement. Nous pensons qu’il n’est pas normal que les animaux soient constamment en stress et n’aient aucune stimulation. En général, nous croyons que tout le monde a conscience de ces problèmes et de beaucoup d’ organisations commencent à se battre pour les animaux en captivité et à les aider.

Nous avons posé à des gens dans la rue des questions sur les animaux en captivité. La majorité des personnes interrogées sont des hommes entre 50 et 70 ans, et ils aiment tous les animaux mais aucun n’est impliqué dans une association de défense des animaux. 66% vont rarement au zoo ou au cirque. 84% pensent qu’il n’est pas juste de donner des antidépresseurs aux animaux. La majorité pensent que les animaux ne devraient pas être utilisés dans le divertissement et qu’ils devraient être libérés. Tout le monde ne trouve pas normal que les ours soient exposés à Berne parce qu’ils devraient être dans la nature.

Animaux en captivité

A mon avis les personnes dans la vidéo sont tout à fait justes. J’aimerais qu’on respecte davantage les animaux. Ce n’est pas normal qu’on traite les animaux comme ça. Ce n’est pas vraiment une vie qu’on leur offre. Selon moi, on ne doit pas avoir des animaux dans des cirques. Mais qu’est-ce qu’on peut faire? Ne pas aller dans des cirques qui ont des animaux! C’est normal que les animaux vivent libres car ils ont besoin de beaucoup d’espace. On doit faire des cages plus grandes ou mieux on laisse les animaux libres. C’est inadmissible qu’on mette les animaux dans des cages trop petites. Les animaux deviennent fous. Certains animaux s’entretuent même. Nous ne voulons pas non plus être traités comme eux. Traite les animaux comme tu veux être traité!

-Les animaux habitent les zoos autour du monde. Nous pensons que les animaux doivent habiter dans la nature. A cause de cela beaucoup d’animaux souffrent en raison des mauvaises conditions.

Les éléphants ont été séparés de leur famille pour être dressés et brisés physiquement. Les éléphants sont forcés de faire des poses qu’ils ne font jamais.

Les delphinariums sont trop petits. Les dauphins n’ont pas suffisamment d’espace pour vivre. Tout simplement c’est pas vraiment une vie qu’on leur offre.

Normalement les cétacées vivent en trois dimensions : dans le son, la surface et la profondeur.

Les solutions sont de donner des antibiotiques,des antidépresseurs et des anti ulcères. 72 pourcent des Français souhaitent l’interdiction des animaux dans les cirques.
