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.

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.

I've been slightly MIA this week. Sucks.
I've had a long long long week. I'm pretty much mentally and emotionally exhausted. A quick wrap up without going into the dirty details:
- last Wednesday tire blows up on the highway, had to get rescued.
- last Thursday, a child had a seizure at lunch duty, I was the closest adult and got to him first. Had to assess and direct the situation for 2 minutes until admin got to me. Two minutes doesn't seem like a long time, but when a child is seizing on the ground and there is a crowd of middle schoolers closing in on your trying to figure out why the teacher is on the ground holding his head it seems like forever.
- learned my arch nemsis at school is coming back for another round next year....yippee
- Friday, had to get my AC in the house fixed. We think someone tried to steal my unit out of my backyard. Nice. Went to get a new tire found out ALL my tires were bald. Had to buy a brand new set of tires. OUCh, zero dollars in the bank account now.
- Sat. day, helped someone move, then played babysitter to a friend trying to help her get hw done, didn't do so well
- Sat night: MAJOR migraine hit. Horrid horrid horrid. The new boy was with me and was just beside himself because he didn't know what to do to help.
- Sun, couldn't hide in bed because I had massive important meetings to attend at church and I was teaching an important lesson that had been planned for over a month. Almost died...literally
- Monday, meeting afterschool, tired at the end of the day with a migraine hangover
- Tuesday, slight disagreement with the boy over small issue, a little nervous about the underlying reason for the small miscommunication
- Wed, more meetings after school and meetings for church, but these weren't too bad.
- Thursday (today!) phew. I'm STILL at school prepping for a professional development session tomorrow that i'm NOT ready for. :*( I just really want to go home and curl up on the couch but can't right now.
Sigh......
I hope next week is better, but I'm not crossing my fingers anytime soon. Maybe I should hold my breath.
I do have photos from last week. i'll be catching up on uploading them this weekend. I still have to get through tomorrow. :(

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.
A series of sessions offered to academic faculty at Unitec NZ around the definition and avoidance of plagiarism, Creative Commons, and plagiarism detection software.
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.
Come to our computer classes to become an Office 'guru', get started on designing your own Websites or just learning the basics along with Internet exploration. We also one of the four branches that offer Mac Classes. Classes are free to Orange Couty residents with a Library Card, otherwise there is a fee of $10 per class, per person.
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.

Floor swept, cables tied, power cords no longer a trip hazard and a memory upgrade. I call that a good day's work. :)

For the next few weeks, this computer lab on campus which sports brand new iMacs dual boot (Mac & Windows) is my second home as I give workshops to 350ish students and 20-40 faculty on using our new online e-portfolio system Mahara.
This lab is nicely set up for group work so that you break up the usual rows of computers and students facing you. A lot of times I can even see their faces. :-)
