We built a Portable Planetarium <$500 and won #ScienceHackDay Best Hardware!
We transformed @Github's Oval Office last night into a Planetarium for 20+ science hackers laying on the floor, piloted by yours truly dressed in a white lab coat for the part, naturally.
Today the Science Hack Day judges awarded us (@ekai, @Bryn_Wolf, me) Best Hardware (out of 32 projects).
Parts:
$250 100 lumen #picoprojector
$200 iPod 5 Touch
$40 fisheye lens, repurposed
$3 opensource Stellarium iOS app
$1 duct tape
$0 scrap cardboard
Turning any livingroom or classroom into a spaceship to explore the universe:
Priceless.
