Flip Matrix aims to excite young people to pursue tertiary study within STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths). Taking an ‘over-engineered’ approach, Flip Matrix puts STEAM on a pedestal by showcasing its capabilities.
The interactive coding panel takes inspiration from existing applications such as Scratch, Cubetto and Project Bloks.
Flip Matrix is designed to be modular for scalability and portability, so it can be used as a pop-up installation at events such as career fairs and university open days
Flip Matrix is a proof of concept for a much larger installation piece. Projected graphics created using Unity 3D were used to simulate a much larger grid of physical flip panels.
