I’m Ronen. A primary school educator with deep passion for making all kinds of things- using technology, circuitry, cardboard, LEDs, and lots of duct tape. Also a big fan of philosophy, poetry, humanism, and optimism.

Would love to connect with any educator who cares to share their work w/ others!

Thank you!
For an amateur electronics hobbyist like me it was challenging but very satisfying. Let me know if you want some more details on how to make it happen. (Template, materials, assembly, coding, etc)

Create a tessellation Create your own tessellation art, with the tiles staying interlocked automatically

I recently started exploring DIY tessellations. Fascinating! There are some really cool resources out there for Ss to design their own and to begin to understand the math and art behind how it all works.

Woven LEDs into an umbrella

A baobab tree made of a coffee tin, string, and an LED at the end of each branch

A wine bottle with decoration of African fabric and string. An LED string inside.

A woven LED string turned into a little creature. Two eyes for decoration. Remote controlled!

LED projects. Adding some light into these dark days…

Nothing better than making your own games!
Cardboard, laser cutting, and any other material do the job!
