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.
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.
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.

Rosa Morales, co-coordinator of Unity's Student Campus, returns a phone call in the computer lab of Columbia College in Chicago. The university students reported in four different ethnic Chicago neighborhoods and put together iMovies and blogs using their notes, photos and video clips.
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.

Prof. Stephane Lafortune EECS Lab where students conduct research in Discrete Event Systems (DES), including modeling, analysis, supervisory control, optimal control, and diagnosis of this class of dynamical systems. They are also working on the applications of DES in computer and communication systems and in software. Members of Prof. Lafortune's lab discuss and analyze various coding scenarios and sequences.
