SparkFun Education's National Tour traveled from Virginia, down through Florida, up to Nebraska, back down to Arkansas and then home to Colorado, teaching microcontroller technology all the while. Mini Coopers, Open Source Hardware, LEDs, John B., flamethrowers and balance bikes.... Oh my!

Here are the twenty-one winners of our analogy contest, along with the analogies. It was really hard to pick winners because there were so many good entries. Thanks for the help teaching, guys!

Educational Outreach Coordinator Linz Craig goes to Uganda to teach robotics and eat a bunch of stuff he can't get in America.

SparkFun National Tour heads to Oklahoma to put on five workshops with the Oklahoma Museum Network, using Scratch and Pico Boards.
In January 2013, SparkFun education and engineering went to the Artisan's Asylum in Massachusetts to offer a large amount of support for their educational track. This post is all about the event and ancillary events we did on either side of the weekend while in the Boston area.

After our West Coast trip, the Department of Education rested up for a week and then headed out to Jefferson City, MO, to conduct a bunch of workshops and get some serious barbecue.

IBM recently reported advances in new chip architecture using Germanium Arsenide. I forget specifics, but they claimed it keeps Moore’s law alive. They also said it’s still in dev and won’t hit the market for a couple years, so do with this info what you will.

Has anyone seen weird noise that shows up only when you’ve got data going in both directions on these units? My baud rate is set to 9600. I’ve got one connected to my Mac laptop via a usb cable and that bluetooth/arduino combo is sending and receiving data to/from another Bluetooth gold/arduino combo. I can receive data and send data just fine with no noise as long as I don’t try to do both at the same time. I’m able to send data out of my computer to one of these units via a hardline arduino serial port but it introduces noise to the previously clean incoming data. Any information would be wonderful and I would be extremely grateful. (In the meantime, yeah, yeah, I’m gonna do some type of checksum or filter code. Boooo.)

Hi guys, working with these units now- I’ve seen this. It happens when you have a connection and your AT commands put the Bluetooth unit into CMD mode while the connection has not yet been terminated using the k,1 AT command.

I always knew Nick has a good heart. Now the internet knows too, there is quantifiable data to prove it.

Hi Dan, We’re in RoboFest. See you there!
-
Animatronics and puppetry are so cool. I love all the intersections of education and techmology. Responsive electronics can cover a lot of ground. Kathryn is doing some really interesting stuff!
-
Yup. We’re aware of that. Just fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!
-
What if the hokey pokey is what it’s all about?
-
Here’s another option that is really similar but around half the price.

Hi Angelo, To clarify- Are you talking about the SIK Guide or the SIK Teacher Binder?
We would more than love to have your slides! In the spirit of Open Education we’d be honored to host them on Learn if you send them to education@sparkfun.com.
Thanks!
