About the book
Make
Unplug and embrace creativity powered by the sun!
Creative Solar Circuits is the only guide to designing and building art and education projects with photovoltaic solar power. Multimedia engineer and New York University adjunct professor Alex Nathanson teaches readers not just the technical aspects of controlling solar power through 21 intriguing experiments and projects, but how to work with natural light and shadow to create art that's harmonious with nature.
The author leverages over a decade of solar art experience to teach simple, playful, and clever ways to use solar power for creative expression. Projects include sound, light, and motion devices such as musical instruments, simple robots, and drawing machines. The projects are designed to be constructed from a wide range of materials and tools—making them particularly accessible for learners of all ages—with varying skill levels and resources.
In addition to teaching readers about solar power and the specific steps required for the featured projects, Creative Solar Circuits gives people the skills to remix these projects or design their own so they can apply them in their own art, design, and teaching practices.
