Projects

Cambridge Bicycle Orchestra

Music on bikes? Music made out of bikes? This project harnesses creativity, science, and engineering to make music sustainably using upcycled bicycles.

We’re looking for people who want to design, make, compose and generally have fun making music out of bicycles!

‘Concert’ opportunity at the Creative Workshops launch and possibly the opportunity to get involved in festivals too 🙂

Lego Churchill

What’s your favourite place in Churchill College? It would be awesome to build a scale model of Churchill, brick for brick 🙂  King’s Chapel eat your heart out!!

Climate Studio

Climate studio is a one-of-a-kind initiative for experiential learning. It aims to bring together arts and sciences to co-produce creativity for climate communication using illustrations, fun experiments and a living laboratory. The inaugural project uses thermal imaging to capture the invisible (heat!) in a student’s daily life. Infrared photography is envisaged as a storytelling medium for climate action, like reducing heat loss, optimizing solar gains and preventing overheating. This studio encourages collaborative thinking across STEM and non-STEM disciplines and is open to everyone.

Virtual Reality

BBCW will have virtual reality devices for students. Through the collaboration between an JCR architectural and an MCR engineering student at Churchill, a virtual Churchill had been developed. We are now looking for enthusiasts to work on new virtual and augmented reality projects at Churchill. Some devices will be made available on the day to try. Come along and check it out!
