Are you tired of watching movies and videos on your small smartphone screen? Why not try making your own DIY smartphone projector? With just a few materials and simple steps, you can easily create a projector that can display your favorite TV shows, movies, and photos on a larger screen.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create your very own DIY smartphone projector:

Materials Needed:

– Shoe Box
– Smartphone
– Magnifying Glass
– Electrical Tape
– Black Construction Paper
– Scissors
– Glue

Steps:

1. Start by choosing a shoebox that is a good size for your smartphone. You want to make sure that your phone fits snugly inside and is situated in the center of the box.

2. Using a magnifying glass, trace around the glass on one end of the box to create a circular cutout. Be sure to leave a small border around the cutout to attach the magnifying glass later.

3. Cut the circular shape out of the box using a pair of scissors.

4. Take the magnifying glass and place it over the cutout. If it doesn’t fit perfectly, you can tape it in place using electrical tape.

5. On the opposite end of the box, you will need to create a small hole to allow the light from your smartphone to pass through. You can use a pair of scissors to make a small hole in the center.

6. Cover the inside of the box with black construction paper to create a dark background.

7. Place your smartphone inside the box, with the screen facing down. Be sure to center it in front of the magnifying glass, so the image will be projected onto the wall.

8. Use electrical tape to secure your phone in place and cover any other openings in the box to prevent light leakage.

9. Use your smartphone’s settings to flip your image before starting to project.

10. Turn on a movie or video, and place the box on a flat surface, facing a blank wall. Adjust the focus on the magnifying glass until the image is clear.

11. Enjoy your DIY smartphone projector!

Conclusion:

There you have it, a simple and easy way to create your own DIY smartphone projector. This homemade projector may not have the highest resolution or the brightest image, but it’s an inexpensive and fun way to enjoy your favorite movies and videos on a larger screen. You can even invite your friends over and have a movie night without spending a ton of money. So, grab a shoe box, and start creating your very own DIY smartphone projector today!

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
