Dankzij een mobiel computerlab, van stroom voorzien door zonnepanelen, kunnen kinderen in Tanzania nu echte IT-ervaring opdoen met laptops en een printer. Dat brengt de jongeren basiskennis die ze nodig hebben om te kunnen doorstromen naar hoger onderwijs. Vaak leren kinderen in het Afrikaanse land alleen vanaf een schoolbord omgaan met computers. Leraren krijten een desktop en randapparatuur en wijzen de belangrijkste onderdelen aan.
GW students can access software, color printing and scanning in the Academic Technologies computer lab located in room B05.

We all had a great time in our first Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. I taught this course with co-instructor Donald Day at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 16, 2016.
A diverse group of ten students joined the class, including artists, technologists and people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents. My partner Geo Monley and our friend Howard Rheingold also helped mentor the students during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, with an introduction to the popular Arduino processor, which is used by millions of hobbyists and makers around the world. We then showed people how to make lights blink and play sounds with their Arduinos, alternating between short presentations and hands-on experimentation.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this first class went so well and look forward to our next two classes.

We all arrive on Sunday night for the week's workshop. After a long day of travelling we enjoy some of Dagstuhl's exceptional food, meet with folks, and catch up.
And then we (or at least quite a few of us) get to work. This was taken at 9:30pm, and there were quite a few people in this lab at the time. And there's another lab, and the library, and people's rooms. I'm sure that lots of folks were also hanging out in the coffee room or playing pool, but there were a lot of people working on a Sunday night as well.
It helps if you enjoy your work, and most of these folks are extraordinarily interesting in what they're studying.
========
While I'm at Dagstuhl this year I'm going to try (amidst all the "real" work) to capture something of what the workshop is like and, more generally, what it is to do (computer) science. This is hard because it's not flashy high-action bull-riding kind of work, but it's important, significant work and deserves to be documented. I'm just going to have work harder at it.
I'm also probably going to take more people pictures than I would be naturally inclined to. If anyone finds themself in a photo here and objects, let me know and I'd be happy to remove it.
Kate and I are big fans of Miyazaki's "My Neighbour Totoro". Knowing this, a friend of ours (Rob Phall) brought me back some Totoro phone-bling from a recent trip he made to Tokyo. In the UK phone-bling is more usually associated with teenage girls but who cares, I think it looks great. But imagine my surprise when I went to lunch with two work friends (Richard Banks and Murray Sim) and Richard put his phone on the table and he also had Totoro phone-bling that his wife had bought him years ago! Needless to say the tree spirits all had a good time together while we chatted about Murray's internship project. Thanks to Murray for the photos.
I'm honoured to be helping Cecily with her dissertation : David and I reviewed her 2nd year PhD report. On the way back from chatting the results through with Alan I thought it would be great to stop and take today's self-portrait.
It's also a kind of mini-homage to Sir Cam's less personal photo of the same building:

Medewerkers van energiebedrijf Essent hebben in Tanzania een mobiel computerlab op zonnestroom opgezet. Het is zo flexibel dat het zelfs de meest afgelegen scholen van het Afrikaanse land bereikt. Het lab is begin 2014 geopend door een lokale vertegenwoordiger van het ministerie van onderwijs.
A Living Laboratory
Elgin Academy has recently signed the Illinois Sustainable Schools Compact, and is committed to continue a wide-range of environmentally conscious practices. Each science class features a curricular environmental focus. Students of all ages will be engaged in monitoring the performance of the new building. Elgin Academy is also investigating the use of handheld devices to help students monitor the performance of the HVAC systems and air quality in an ongoing basis. The curriculum will also give older students periodic supervised access to the roof to monitor the functioning of the equipment more closely.
Community Connections
Elgin Academy has offered the Elgin Children’s Opera the status of “Resident Community Program”, providing them with a dedicated office and the use of the Kimball Street Theatre. Elgin Academy has also signed an agreement with the City of Elgin to offer other local community groups, including The Elgin Theater Company, use of this performing arts facility.
Strategies & Results
The project site is on a previously developed urban brownfield, located within 1/2 mile of many basic services and bus routes. Indigenous, drought-resistant plant materials have been incorporated into the landscape design, reducing the dependence on potable water.
Exterior wall and roof insulation, along with an energy efficient mechanical system design, contribute to the energy efficiency of the building. The white membrane roof reflects solar heat, reducing the building’s contribution to the urban heat-island effect while also reducing the building’s cooling loads. Materials were selected for their recycled content, regional origin, and low VOC emissions. Wood products were specified having no urea-formaldehyde.
Green Demolition
Prior to the demolition of two existing distressed houses on site, an auction was held featuring artifacts and materials salvaged from the homes. This turned out to be a win-win-win effort. The existing houses were removed; area homeowners acquired salvaged architectural details, which are now being recycled and reused instead of filling space in a landfill; and the sponsoring neighborhood association raised funds for other restoration projects.
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.

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 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.
