Over the next few weeks, we'll explore the basics behind electricity in a series of videos.
SparkFun pays a visit to iD Tech (& it makes our own childhood summer camp lanyard-weaving look really bad)
This was my first year at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, and it was amazing. Here's a quick re-cap of the events
How to make your own seismometer to measure ground activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
With over 5 Million units sold in 2014 alone, Chromebooks are a growing trend among schools and homes. One of the biggest drawbacks to Chromebooks has been the inability to connect it to any hardware (i.e. Arduino) -- until now.
An experiential learning project to teach students in high school and college how to use embedded electronics to accomplish things in the field as a proof of concept. - By Daniel Blake
Our very own Derek wrote a book! While we wait for the June publishing date, we asked him how it went.
Based on our behavior in previous years we should not be allowed back, but here we come.
Courtesy of Terrence Fagan, Engineering Chair at Central Piedmont Community College. Terrence has done a lot of great work in engineering education and outreach in his community. He had the opportunity to attend the Fab10 Symposium in Barcelona last July. When he started telling me about his experience there, I felt it was a must for a blog post.
