Josh Johnson (UMM CSci '13) spent part of this summer going through 31 old UMM CSci computers prepping them for donation to PCs for People. We've talked about doing something like this for several years, but now it's finally going to happen! Thanks to Josh for all his good work.
Sometimes I greatly question my sanity in choosing to take a summer class. I was doing pretty well until this VLOOKUP thing in Excel (As a general rule, the computing class is a no-brainer, but this one got me.) The assignment was to figure out hypothetical students' marks, and the letter grade they'd receive based on the number. So you get Excel to "look up" on a chart. I thought I had it right, and then all my grade values were showing up as F. I was NOT impressed. (Ask Tiz, to whom I was talking on msn.) By the time I was about reading to start banging my head on the desk, I realized my error - the number grades were all in percent form. So 98%, while not an F, per se - is actually 0.98 and obviously lower than 50. Durrrr. I just feel so smart when I make mistakes like that!
I'm a dork.
Our second Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on June 23, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with a wonderful group of ten students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by showing students how to make things move with Arduino and servo motors. We then learned how to use buttons, potentiometers and light sensors to control a range of devices -- turning lights on and off, or making motors swivel with a knob.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

November 25, 2007 (Sunday) - My weekend class used the computer lab for an hour this afternoon.
The daily focus of my eJournal and images blog is on text, Here, I want to create something which will emphasize photos. I'll shoot and add an image each day. Doing so will remind me to constantly carry my camera and it'll be a more direct record of current, personal experiences.

The four-story 50,000 sf Spieth Hall was converted into a classroom building which houses the Nursing and Psychology departments, general classrooms and additional rooms for growth. The building floor plan includes offices, conference rooms, lecture halls, computer labs, student lounges, classrooms, tiered classrooms, exam rooms, research labs, ward labs, observation rooms, simulation rooms, and medical storage. Expansion space was renovated as future offices and general classrooms. Each floor was given a theme color to help orient the occupants and create a different personality. New lighting, furniture and finishes gave the building a fresh modern look throughout.
Spieth Hall’s greatest challenge was taking a building full of small dark dorm rooms and converting it into a multi-functional academic building with large open classrooms in various sizes to fit each department’s program. Significant effort went into planning, demolition, programming, and design in order to best utilize the space and structure. Existing structural limitations of concrete columns, a concrete core, and concrete ceiling heights dictated much of what was possible since room depths between the core and the exterior walls could not change. Our team worked with the University and Department Stakeholders to design spaces that maximized the available configurations and fulfilled their goals of re-purposing their existing structure rather than having to build new ones.

Our third Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on Thursdays, from June 16 to 30, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with an enthusiastic group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by giving students an overview of how circuits work. We then learned how to use a multimeter, how to solder electronics, and how to control rainbow-colored NeoPixel lights.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

Before the class start, I play a short slide show of My Son pictures. It is more about enhancing a good picture becoming great rather than fix a bad picture. RAW material must be good in order to enhance it to it full glory.
We talk about how, certain colors can add mood to a pictures, how to enhance a catchlight and also about creating a great black and white picture.
The class taking place at KAED (Kulliyyah of Architecture & Environmental Design) CAD Lab, International Islamic University Malaysia...
