DIY Buzzing Operation Game with Kathy Ceceri

April 10, 2021 by Kathy Ceceri

Make a personalized version of the board game Operation, where players must remove game pieces without setting off the alarm! You choose the theme, design the board, and build the electric circuit that makes it work. All you need is a recycled box (cereal or cracker boxes work great) and some simple components to create a buzzing, light-up game that everybody will love!

See a preview of the project on Adafruit!

Who It’s For:

  • Families with kids ages 8 and up!
  • Teens 12 and up!
  • Educators looking for in-class or online STEAM activities to share with their students!

Introducción al diseño de prototipos de ingeniería y programación usando Tinkercad Circuítos y Arduino Uno

April 10, 2021 by isabel

Descripción del Programa

– En este taller, aprenderá como desarrollan los ingenieros sus prototipos, comenzando con el diseño digital o virtual, el cuál es elaborado en el programa CAD (Diseño Asistido por Ordenador), donde ellos también pueden hacer pruebas de sus prototipos mediante simuladores para posteriormente construir y programar el prototipo físico.

– Obten tu certificado

– Construirá nueve (9) prototipos utilizando el programa Tinkercad Circuitos, aprenderá a programarlos, hacer pruebas, y como una extensión opcional podrá construir el prototipo físico con Arduino. Aprenderá también la programación básica en lenguaje C/C++, variables, bloques de sentencias, asignaciones y comparaciones, circuitos eléctricos, diseño digital, electricidad y física, como calibrar y usar sensores usados en diferentes áreas de ciencias, e innovación en programación para un mejor uso de sensores y componentes conectados a microcontroladores.

Lista de los nueve (9) proyectos incluidos en el programa:
1) Diódo emisor de luz (LED)
2) Zumbadores
3) Diódo emisor de luz tres colores, rojo, azul y verde. (RGB)
4) Pantalla de Cristal Líquido (LCD)
5) Servos
6) Sensor de Temperatura
7) Fotoresistor (LDR)
8) Sensor de Gas
9) Sensor de Distancia

Cada clase comienza con la apertura de una cuenta en Tinkercad, posteriormente se continúa con el diseño digita del prototipo. Si el alumno cuenta con los componentes necesarios para construir el proyecto físico, puede permanecer en el curso después del diseño digital para una extensión en su aprendizaje, donde será guiado por los maestros de Gearbox Labs para construir el prototipo físico.

El alumno debe tener acceso a una computadora con internet para crear la cuenta en tinkercad.com

Para programar el prototipo físico, se requiere descargar el programa Arduino IDE y tener los componentes físicos para la construcción del prototipo.

Graphics Using Python Software

February 17, 2021 by popi

Learn to use Python software to make simple graphics!
Python is a programming language that is used extensively in industry and is really quite simple and fun!
In this session we will learn how to use Python’s turtle program to create and animate shapes and to build some fun graphics.
Prior experience is not necessary – as a matter of fact, we teach this class to children as young as 6

Please download the free Python version of Python from Python’s website https://www.python.org/downloads/ (scroll down to find the file that aligns with your operating system)

An Intro to Software-Defined Radio and Radio Communications

February 7, 2021 by Alicia

In this workshop, Alex will show you how to unlock the world of radio communications. You’ll learn how to use a technology called software-defined radio (SDR), with which you can explore the electromagnetic spectrum using nothing but a $30 kit and your computer. After getting set up with your SDR kit, Alex will also demonstrate various signals you can receive all over the world while revealing some of the underlying principles of radio communications. At the end of this workshop, you’ll have the tools necessary to further your exploration of radio technologies and even use wireless communications in your next project.

Glowforge and Inkscape Basics: Getting Started

January 27, 2021 by mhorton

I’ve taught hundreds of teens to use a Glowforge laser cutter to make keychains, earrings, cell phone cases, engraved tiles, and more. We use the free Inkscape software to make our vector designs. I’ll walk you through the basics of designing a teardrop dangle earring and loading it into the Glowforge app to cut. Then, we’ll walk through the app settings and the physical setup of the laser. Then, we’ll let the Glowforge do it’s thing and a beautiful earring will come out.

Playing with Data

January 26, 2021 by Nancy Otero

Explore ways to create music and art using data. No math or programming experience required! During these two sessions, we’ll train the computer to play some tunes using machine learning, we’ll create interactive visualizations of data, and investigate why everyone is making such a big deal about data.

This class will show you how data is used to make beautiful fun things. We’ll use weakinator to create music using machine learning, we’ll explore p5 to make interactive visualization of data, and we’ll use codap to investigate some data sets.
