In the spirit of being 'makers',
over the next few weeks we will be embarking on arduino projects.
It's likely we are going to start up the 3D Printer to enhance your projects too.
But first get a sense of what it means to be a 'maker.'

Take a look at some of the possibilities:
So what do you think?
Homework assignment:
1. From the Maker Movement articles that you read, copy and paste one or two significant sentences that tell you something about the movement. Then, in your own words, tell what you learned about the makers or maker movement from the statements. 2. What exactly is an arduino? How is it the same / different from other processors or controllers?
3. Why would we care about learning about these devices? Do you have any experience with these? What do you think you could do with this technology?
1. Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers. They create things like printers using there technology and there brain skills. They combine there skills together to create better technology for the future.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is a limitless array of innovative applications for everything from robotics and lighting to games and gardening. It makes it easy to use other things like adapters and can be used with almost anything. It is meant to inspire you to build things and use more technology. It is supposed to be fun to use. These are a lot diffrent from other processors because you can do a lot more with this than any other processor.
3. We could make better inventions and technology with these. They can help us with everything in technology. I do not have any experience with these. With this technology you can make a vertual garden or a flaming pumpkin. The possibilities are all up to you.
1.) "Everything old is new again" is one of the criticisms that the maker culture gets because this has been done before so why bother doing it now. "Maker-Culture" re-brands pursuits and processes that extend into prehistory — making things and communicating how. That was the counter argument and the best point of makers of how with makers they make their creations and tell how they did it. I learned that the maker community is a growing and vast community with great ideas in it.
ReplyDelete2.) Arduino is a single-board micro controller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible. Its similar to other processors because they do they same thing pretty much just on a smaller scale. its different because of its compact size which allows you to do more complex things.
3.) We would care is because we are a group of individuals who are involved with technology more then the average person. We spend a lot of our time on and working on computers so something like this where we need to program and design something that people make with arduinos is right up our alley. We could make several things to improve the way we do things in this room or in the media center. This is something that im glad we're doing and our looking forward to participating in this project.
1. "The combination of ingenious makers and innovative technologies such as the Arduino microcontroller and personal 3D printing are driving innovation in manufacturing, engineering, industrial design, hardware technology and education." "Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies." The maker movement are groups of individuals who create and market products that are recreated and assembled using broken parts and electronics.
ReplyDelete2. An Arduino is a microcontroller that is made to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible. It is the same because they are used to control things in the environment just like controllers are made to control games or robots. It is different because they use are made to make it easy to control things in the environment and is not for games.
3. We want to learn about these devices because they are a big part of the future of technology and can make more complex things easier than they are. I don't have any experience with an Arduino but I have heard many stories about what they can do and what they are made for. I think that we could use it to control a robot and make it do things that most robots can't do.
1. "The maker movement, as we know, is the umbrella term for independent inventors, designers and tinkerers... Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers"
ReplyDeleteMakers are people who prefer creating unique and creative things rather than consuming boring, generic things.
2. An arduino is a microcontroller that can read sensors and control anything using electricity. Arduinos can be programmed to do various things to interact with devices.
3. As creative and technologically savvy people, we are learning about these to help our unique skills and personality flow. We can use these devices to create several devices that automatically interact with something when we need it or allows us to control things remotely. I do not have any personal experience with an arduino but am excited to learn more.
1) a."Individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device."
ReplyDelete1) b. "However, the maker movement also incorporates creations and inventions that never existed before and were developed by individuals in their homes, garages or a place with limited manufacturing resources."
1) c. Maker Movement can take any piece of old technology and use it to its full potential. They started out as a small business with limited resources but now they are a major technology company.
2) An Arduino is an open-source microcontroller development board.
2) a. It can take control of anything that has electricity involved with it.
3) This device can help around the house whether that be a simple task of making coffee or to arming a security system. I have not had any experience with these but i would if given the opportunity to do so. These devices can be used for just some basic stuff around the house but look at the big picture, you can use this for almost anything. You can use it for jobs, or factories and improve our technology significantly.
1. The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device.
ReplyDeleteJust as this statement says it tells that the makers are individuals who make products from unused, discarded, or broken electronic parts and create sometime new.
2. An Arduino is an open-source microcontroller development board. Arduinos are like other processors except they can be used to to sensor and interact with objects and load up programs to it so you can interact with more.
3. Because they are cool and they are the one of the newest technologies that have so much potential. But makes me wonder, wouldn't someone try to pull off things in watch dogs, haven't played the game but I know a man hacks the city and makes it his own world. So wouldn't someone try to replicate that and what if one were to succeed, what would become of this creation? I have no experience with Arduinos, and I have no idea what I could unlock with this technology.
The combination of ingenious makers and innovative technologies such as the Arduino microcontroller and personal 3D printing are driving innovation in manufacturing, engineering, industrial design, hardware technology and education.
ReplyDelete1)The maker division is about go-getter and the people that will bring this country and the rest of the world into the future. These people, makers, are creating technology and fixing things that are very useful.
2)Arduino is a microprocessor. Arduino processors are applicable to almost everything while others are not. It is still a regular processor and is only highly applicable instead of having more power.
3)They are technology and this class is all about technology. I do not have any experience with these things yet I wish to use them in the future for research and for making cool stuff. I could make many things like LED cubes and other cool things.
Replacement sentence: While we have a large number of Makers, we suffer from the lack of centralized community.
DeleteMany makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community. Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies.
ReplyDelete1)The maker movement they are people who are becoming entrepreneurs creating new product and item of usage for technology and tech uses.
2) An Arduino is an open-source microcontroller development board. In plain English, you can use the Arduino to read sensors and control things like motors and lights. This allows you to upload programs to this board which can then interact with things in the real world. With this, you can make devices which respond and react to the world at large.
3)These devices are useful for making useful little devices like new clocks and led globes or cubes any size you want.The could be used to advertise company's products and sales.I don't have any experience with any kind of electronic building skills but i am pretty good at taking them apart with out 'hurting' them. I think that I would like to make an item to have LED connected to a keyboard to shoe what keys are being pressed.
1. "Many makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community." "The community consists of a wide variety of interests and skill levels, from industry experts to garage tinkerers. For some it's a full time job, while others are weekend warriors. The types of people who identify as makers is just as varied, from those who focus on crafts to electronics experts to woodworkers." That Makers can be anyone with and idea, no matter what their experience may be. Also that Makers can help their community with their ideas.
ReplyDelete2. An Arduino is a microcontroller that makes the use of interaction machines or objects more applicable to home use. Its is no different as in it is still used to control other things just as any other controller.
3. I think these will be a giant step to the future, they could one day replace the desktops we are currently working with. I personally do not have any experience with these, but I have seen them be used with lego creations. I think we can do incredible things with these, we could greatly improve security systems and possible create our own, or something simple like remotely starting dinner while you're out of the house. The possibilities are limitless.
Delete1. Along the way, the idea of creating technology got sidelined as I instead started to write about it, chronicling its history. This led me to eventually become a computer research analyst instead of an engineer. i learned about all the technology they used.
ReplyDelete2.Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
3.Learning about these devices can be very useful. it will teach use the base of what else that the is to learn.
1. But the thing that makes the maker movement a real revolution rather than a passing fad is this confluence of cheap manufacturing, cultural entrepreneurship and simple economics. Collectively, these forces are democratizing innovation. Rubenstein explains that this is all part of the collaborative ethos driving the maker movement. Starting a business is a scary, challenging endeavor, she says, and a major reason why it's so scary is because you're on your own. I learn that some of the colleges are using The Maker Movement and it is going to be bigger and better than the internet.
ReplyDelete2. Arduino is a microcontroller development system.The Atheros processor supports a Linux distribution based on OpenWrt named OpenWrt-Yun. The board has built-in Ethernet and WiFi support, a USB-A port, micro-SD card slot, 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro USB connection, an ICSP header, and a 3 reset buttons.
3. I do not have any experience with these devices but I would like to learn about these devices. I would make them more safer and to make sure that people will not be hack. Next I think that I could make the internet more faster with these technology.
1.) "Makerspaces have started to spring up, though desktop machines and inexpensive tools for the home have made many projects possible, some still require industrial equipment that’s not accessible to the typical maker."
ReplyDelete"Every maker has a different starting point."
I learned from the first sentence that makers are coming together and are popping up every where. That at one point a maker or makers decide to make a place for makers. Makers are helping makers and industries with the stuff they are making or improving. The second sentence taught me that makers come from every where. You see the commercials talking about how apple started in a garage and a bunch of other things started in a garage. You also need to know that not all ideas come from a garage.
2.) It is a processor that can do many things that most other processors can't. It also does almost all that a normal processor do but at higher level.
3.) The world should care how to do use it because it can help with many things and you could be lazier which a lot of the world likes. Jobs could be safer, businesses could operate faster and it could be the first step to robots like terminator robots. This could really benefit the world in many ways good and bad.
Test
ReplyDelete1. Welcome to the Maker Movement, an evolution of millions of people who are taking big risks to start their own small businesses dedicated to creating and selling self-made products. In a world of mass-produced products, modern technology has made it easier than ever for a single individual to create and distribute items that are customizable and unique without having middlemen like manufacturers. The world needs makers but you already knew that, what i got from this is that there is a big group of people that make and sell there creations.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is a unique micro controller. It is a small micro controller that isnt so expensive that average joes can use to make cool creations of there own design. This little thing is capable of 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, or a 32-bit Atmel ARM. Which is pretty impressive for a small device like this. It is diffent because you cant take a microprocessor and make what some people have made with these arduino chips.
3. I would really like to learn about these devices so i can make things like glowing shoes or custom mouses. there was one project i saw called Ardu-pong someone took the Atari pong game and made it with the Arduino chip. I have never seen one of these chips but i would like to work with them. My imagination is very wild who knows what i could create. I have been thinking about a mouse that my name glows in.
1) As the movement has gathered increasing momentum, makers have created their own market ecosystem, developing new products and servicesThe combination of ingenious makers and innovative technologies such as the Arduino microcontroller and personal 3D printing are driving innovation in manufacturing, engineering, industrial design, hardware technology and education.
ReplyDelete2) Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
3) These devices could help us develop
1. "The next industrial revolution is right around the corner, and it's going to be bigger than the Internet — or so says a growing army of hackers, designers, artists and entrepreneurs." "Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers." From these sentences I have learned that these ingenious designers will create/have created different devices that can turn your imagination in two. They will use all different technologies to create inventions that will inspire and awe people of all ages.
ReplyDelete2. "Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board." "Basically, if there is something that is in any way controlled by electricity, the Arduino can interface with it in some manner. And even if it is not controlled by electricity, you can probably still use things which are (like motors and electromagnets), to interface with it."
There are so many things that this thing can do, It can control nearly anything that Is powered by electricity.
3. There is no reason not to learn about this. This skill could help people like me that have no experience with a subject, and put the on a path of learning. Sometime in the future, everyone will be using these. It will give us an edge on the technical side of things to learn about this BEFORE it is needed.
Delete1. "The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device."The maker movement has led to the creation of a number of technology products and solutions by typical individuals working without supportive infrastructure. This is facilitated by the increasing amount of information available to individuals and the decreasing cost of electronic components." From these three sentences I have learn that Marker Movements are this group or many groups Designers can or create projects together, as well market them. You can also work alone.. and be a loner, but I would recommed being with a group instead.
ReplyDelete2. "Arduino refers to an open-source electronics platform or board and the software used to program it. Arduino is designed to make electronics more accessible to artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments." Its a type of processor that can do anything. Its basically like the god of all processors.
3. Why would we want to learn about these devices? Why not! If we want to learn about technology then here we should learn this! I also Have 0 experinces with these products so i cant wait to learn about them. , well if the arduino can do anything then i can do anything!

1."The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device." This movement is to encourage creativity and to stimulate and test inquiryThe maker movement has led to the creation of a number of technology products and solutions by typical
ReplyDeleteindividuals working without supportive infrastructure.
2.The Arduino micrcontroller has a nearly limitless array of innovative applications for everything from robotics and lighting to games and gardening! It's a fun way to automate everything, enabling you to control simple devices or manage complex Halloween displays. Arduino is in a sense a result to the makers movment. All the devices they encourage you to make would not have been invented if they did not have a sense of creativity that this movement is trying to stimulate.
3. These devices are basically our future, they are almost limitless. From helping people from everyday life, to jobs and school work. I do not have any experience with ny of these devices but it would definitely be cool to get into Arduino projects.
1.) "Everything old is new again" From Maker Culture, Wikipedia. "The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device." I thought these sentences were inspiring because the maker movement takes things from the past, but make them better, so that people that had stuff before technology, can now have it back but better!
ReplyDelete2.) Arduino is an amazing company that can be used to automate everything, making you have fun, household items that are now boring, into an extreme (and in some cases terrifying) object, capable of having hours of awesome fun.
3.) These creations can lead to the future, where there's flying cars, pink jetboards, and automatic shoe lace tiers (Which actually exist in the same fashion aswell). People can be helped and provide to people in the most extreme way if this were put through a good cause, and helped people like the homeless, get back on their feet and get a job & their life back.
1. "Inventables.com has CNC Mills, laser cutters and 3D printers, and people are using them to create all types of products for themselves or to sell." This is showing how today we are advancing to the point where machines are becoming more widely available, and easier for the public to access and use. I also know of a lab in Mesa that is enabling hobbyists and consumers to do similar things. With this ease of access technology and all the innovators out there, we are bound to make huge advances in the near future.
ReplyDelete2. Arduino is a small computer or microprocessor that allows you to program in detail the functions that you want it to do. It is an open sourced computing platform that can be used for many uses, and oriented towards being used in a specific project. It can be expanded to make the features even more limitless.
3. I would like to learn about arduino and how to use in it more detail. I have one of my own, as well as a raspberry pi, which is very similar. I have worked lightly with both and would love to use them to do some sort of robotics or analytics from outside variables.
1. The maker movement has so widely taken over, that it any one can become a creator. "The Maker Movement has the potential to bring techies and non-techies alike into the world of being creators...". The tools are there for everyone to use, they might sell things on Etsy, or huge build complex contraptions to help with other things. Some people have taken the tools and built aesthetic creations just because it is fun.
ReplyDelete2. Since childhood, people have tried building their own creations. It may have been LEGO, or Linkin Logs, but along with technology, the need to build advances. Having a personal computer is no longer a major hardship, nearly everyone has them. The tools get cheaper every day, things that were only a dream years ago are sweeping over the world. You can build nearly anything with a 3D printer, and portable processors like the Arduino allow for constant programming and technological fun that anyone can do.
3. Don't worry if you've never gotten experience with the new technology, its made so any one can pick it up and build to their hearts content. If anything is too complex to figure out on your own, there are huge communities that built up to share there accomplishments. If you haven't used the tools of the future, its vital you have to at least try to use them. They may seem daunting at first, but anything is possible with the worlds technology.
A convergence of computer hackers and traditional artisans, the niche is established enough to have its own magazine, Make, as well as hands-on Maker Faires that are catnip for DIYers who used to toil in solitude.
ReplyDelete1. I learned that it is very important to a vast group of technology, and is needed very much. Though it can be used for hacking as well and damage others work or properties. Without it things like the 3-D printer and pen would not be possible, also with the help of kickstart. Which raised 2 million dollars for its creation. Amazing things in robotics are greatly effected by this and without it would not be here. (going to be continued).
2. An Arduino board is a board that is used to program things such as things in robotics and weather machinery. It is similar to other boards in the fact that it is used to program things and make them operate in the way that it does. Like a weather control recording wind speed or a robot moving and receiving commands.
Delete3. We care about learning these devices because we can learn some very cool or important things from these boards or both. I do not have any experience with these boards, but I do think I could do a pretty big amount of things if I had the correct instructions.
Delete1. “It has the potential to turn more and more people into makers instead of just consumers, and I know from history that when you give makers the right tools and inspiration, they have the potential to change the world.” This sentence sums up the movement into a few words; consumers becoming makers. The world of creation is becoming available to the common consumer, and will change the world.
ReplyDelete2. Arduino is an adaptable microcontroller board that has become a front in a the maker movement. The simplicity of the board is what gives it power; anyone can learn it. The arduino board differs from other boards because of its style, which is simple and clearly defined. Each part is easy to recognize and use.
3. There are many uses for devices like arduino. First of all, it is useful experience in the word of electronics. Although there are many more complicated electronics, an arduino allows for the basics to be learned. Second of all, there are endless possibilities in projects. I have never used an arduino personally, yet looking through projects of others, I definitely see potential for homemade synthetic limbs and more.
1.As the movement has gathered increasing momentum, makers have created their own market ecosystem, developing new products and services.The maker movement is attempting to produce more makers instead of consumers.
ReplyDelete2.Arduino is a revolutionary tool used to make everything more automated and controlled and it makes everything easier overall.It will also transform many consumers into makers themselves
3.This technology is important because it IS the future,this tech continues to grow and become more common.I don't have any personal experience but with the way things are going that might change very soon.The possibilities are endless and we could use these technologies to create better inventions for the future.
1) The Maker Movement has the potential to bring techies and non-techies alike into the world of being creators — some hobby-related, but for many, they could end up making great products and selling them online.From this statement I think the maker movement gives many people creative freedom.I also think its cool that people are able to sell the items they make and even share how to make them.
ReplyDelete2) The arduino is a single-board micro controller, intended to make the the application of interactive objects or environments more accesible. An arduino consists of an Atmel 8-bit AVR microcontroller with complementary components to facilate programming and incorporation into other circuits.
1. "The maker movement is primarily the name given to the increasing number of people employing do-it-yourself (DIY) and do-it-with-others ( DIWO) techniques and processes to develop unique technology products." This movement is all about using your imagination to change the world and make money.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is a micro-processor that can read the world around it and use that information to trigger other actions. unlike most programmable circuit boards, Arduinos don't need a separate programmer to be programmed.
3. These devices are amazing because you can create all kinds of interactive tools/toys. Arduinos make new pieces of technology easy to create. I do not have any experience with these things. With this technology, life can be optimized with automated kitchens, animatronic robots and security systems.
1.) "The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device." The maker movement wants people to be creative and innovative to find solutions, and create new things.
ReplyDelete2.) (To be continued....)
2.) an Arduino is a programmable microprocessor that can me modified and programmed to do pretty cool things.
Delete3.) I have a little bit of experience with the arduino, things like this are amazing, you can create a ton of cool things with this, big things, small things, random things. The arduino is one of the best devices for someone who has a big imagination, and for someone who is innovative.
1: "At Artisan's Asylum in Somerville, Mass., a team of roboticists are building a giant 10-foot-tall, 18-foot-wide, six-legged vehicular hexapod. Why? Because they can."
ReplyDeleteThis sentence to me says a lot about the Maker Movement. It shows that no matter who or where you are, you can join the maker movement to create your own unique prototypes that without you would have never come into existence. The Maker movement is all about the individual creating his or her ideas in a way unique to any other movement. Even if you are literally creating your project for no reason other than to say that you can, its still completely awesome.
2: The Arduino has no limits to what you can create, your imagination and skill level are the only things that limit your use of the Arduino. You can use it to do anything from make your own custom video game controller to use it to make a self-steering lawn mower. One of the ways that it is similar to other processors/ controllers is the fact that is programed to fulfill a purpose desired by whoever programed it. The Arduino project is one of the best programs you can get into for both recreational projects as well as professional prototypes.
1) "With the launch of MAKE Magazine in 2005, Dougherty and his team provided the catalyst for a tech-influenced DIY community that has come to be identified as the Maker Movement." This is a foundation, this is a part of society that has almost been around for a decade; it has already broken so much ground in society in the nine years it has existed.
ReplyDelete2) Arduino microchips are very special mainly due to the fact that they are very open, very free-form in how they're made. People have been able to make just about everything under the sun with these little chips, from hacks for toys that measure brainwaves to working, multi-articulated robotic hands; from flexible circuits that can be sewn into clothes to homemade laser tag with laser "clips".
3) Arduinos are the lamps for the future of engineering, and we are those that carry them. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people will be standing on the shoulders of we giants, masters of the Arduino. I know nothing (you know nothing, John Snow) about Arduinos, but I wanna use them and EEG headsets to control slot cars.
1.) “Many makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community. Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies.”
ReplyDeleteThis sentence seems significant because it shows that no matter how much experience in this sort of thing that you have, you can still be a part in this and possibly make something huge at some point.
2.) An Arduino is a type of processor board that can have a huge variety of programs attached to it and make it run several different types of things, and some of the functions is to make motors turn and lights work. This differs from other processor types because it can react to so much more different things that a normal processor can’t do.
3.) I would think that we would care about learning these types of technology because it could give us many things to make with it, plus it would be good to have knowledge of these things in case something happens further down the road in life where there will be even more technology.
1) I chose Drones and Flight as my article. "Everyone's buzzing about drones! They can be used to deliver pizza, as surveillance and security devices, for aerial photography and more!" The makers of this movement will change the world drones are the future of the world.
ReplyDelete2) An arduino is a single-board micro-controller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible. An arduino is the same as other processors because it can run the same things as a linux ran computer and many more. One difference is that a arduino can react to many different things than your run of the mill processor.
3) With this new technology we could have endless possibilities with what we could do. There will be many jobs with this technology. Sadly I do not have any experience with the arduinos, but I do wish to become very familiar with this technology. I think I will come up with a few ways to help life as we know it today. Such as coming up with a few robots that could help with farming and hard and dangerous work like mining.
1. The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device. I think that the maker movement is an association of people who show others how technology can be reused, and how simple it can be.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is a platform made up of simple hardware and software, it is then a skeleton for whatever program brings it to life. This means that arduinos are very open to all things, whether you are making a robot or a mini game. Not exactly a processor or controller, almost like a small computer.
3. GENYes is all about learning technology and showing our community how technology works. So learning about arduinos gives us the info to show our community about arduinos, and create an experience that can give people a better and less confused view on technology.
1. “The skill level required to produce a usable prototype or usable object has dropped precipitously just in the last five years.” “I think companies are looking for entrepreneurial minds.” The Maker movement is taking over the tech industry as we speak. Companies are committing themselves to simplify the way technology is operated, to allow people with a smaller mindset with technology to learn.
ReplyDelete2. Arduinos are microcontrollers that endless possibilities when it comes to creating innovative products. Millions of projects can be made with just a simple board, LED lights, and some robotics. They are similar to other processors, though they can do much more at a higher scale.
3. Using these processors we could achieve advanced products and new discoveries with technology. Personally, I have no experience with these kits, but am excited to learn about them. With this type of technology we can create unimaginable things, including face detection devices, and a wireless display made out of an Altoids can.
1. "The skill level required to produce a usable prototype or usable object has dropped precipitously just in the last five years." "The maker movement is a trend in which individuals or groups of individuals create and market products that are recreated and assembled using unused, discarded or broken electronic, plastic, silicon or virtually any raw material and/or product from a computer-related device." The maker movement is kind of like Mythbusters in the sense that they create things people think wouldn't work or they never even thought of making.
ReplyDelete2. Arduino's are little motherboards/processors/microcontrollers that you can program to do just about anything physically possible. I've looked them up in the shop and am quite surprised at how cheap they are. Just about anyone can buy them.
3. Why should we learn this? There are so many possibilities at what you can do with these that every school should be teaching about them. I've even see a video of someone using an arduino to unlock his door for him. That inspired me to try thinking of a way to use an arduino to open my door for me whenever i get close to it (like with laser triggers or something near my door way)
I am testing
ReplyDelete1. “Maker Faire is primarily designed to be forward-looking, showcasing makers who are exploring new forms and new technologies.” Maker Faire is a big conference sponsored by Disney that encourages people of all ages to come and learn about all the different things technology has to offer.
ReplyDelete2. Arduinos are micro controllers that pretty much control whatever you set it up for. It can be programmed using C/C++ and can be told to do whatever it can manage. Some ideas that I've seen are arduinos that can open and close a garage door by texting it. The arduino was hooked up to the motor that runs the garage, and when a text comes through that says GD OPEN, the arduino will send a pulse that will simulate pushing the garage door button to open, the same with closing. A friend of mine programmed an arduino for a contest that recreated PONG. The arduino was hooked up to a video cable that ran into a monitor, and had two small joysticks connected to the arduino. These are just of the few ideas of all the things an arduino can do. One project I wanted to work on was to create a wireless Super Nintendo controller. There are projects using an arduino inside other controllers making it wireless, so I believe I can try and use the same idea and put it in a SNES controller.
3. So far I havent had any experience with arduinos, but I will in Game Design. We’re working on modifying our electric cars to incorporate arduinos. I’m really excited to start working with them and learn all of the possibilities that it’s able to do.
ReplyDelete1. “Many makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community. Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies.”
This basically states that innovation is what paves the way to prosperity and success, as well as an awesome hobby.
2. The Arduino is a micro controller. It can be used to create interactive objects, and can also, in conjunction with other hardware, function as small computers. Using an open source IDE, you can create your own software and hardware. The arduninos are fairly inexpensive as well. While the arduino software works on Mac, PC and Linux, most software is limited to Windows.
3. I think we care about these devices because you can literally make ANYTHING with them. From voice-controlled gameboys to romance pants, the possibilities are endless. In 4th hour we’re souping up the cars we made for the final last year.
1. "Many makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community." "Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies." Makers don't need any experience, they're just hobbyists that got into some cool new stuff. Even students got into the products and became experts! It's such an easy platform to use.
ReplyDelete2. An Arduino is a type of small remote control. It is like regular remote controls, BUT it can be used on ANYTHING, which I find very cool and interesting.
3. These devices are the future of technology. By learning about these devices now in the early stages, we'll be more prepared to work on these in the future. I personally do not have any experiences with these devices, however, I am looking forward to working with them.
1. "The Maker Movement has the potential to bring techies and non-techies alike into the world of being creators — some hobby-related, but for many, they could end up making great products and selling them online." From this sentence I have learned that there are many people that could end up creating their own little businesses online, so to speak, because of the Maker Movement.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is an open-source computing platform on a microcontroller board. It has an array of innovative applications from robotics to gaming. It's different because it can control more of the real and physical world than a normal computer can. It can also be programmed to interact with an array of other objects, such as your computer.
3. Learning about these devices could be very useful because they can be used to create better technologies and inventions. I have never worked on arduinos before but I feel that I could make just about anything with an arduino that I had instructions for, and I can't wait to try.
1. "The Maker Movement has the potential to bring techies and non-techies alike into the world of being creators — some hobby-related, but for many, they could end up making great products and selling them online. It is a special time in history that will have a trans-formative impact on our future." The Maker Movement is an opportunity for small time business owners or even independent manufacturers to build produce and sell their own made products.
ReplyDelete2. An arduino is a micro controller, which means its essentially a small computer. And just like a computer is can be programmed to do ANYTHING (within reason). Because of its small size and simply hardware though, it can lack power and memory to preform large scale tasks.
3. It's important fo use to learn about ardinos because they are the next step in technology. The rise in numbers of arduinos is astounding. People are coming up with so many amazing ideas on the arduino project site. technology like this can, and is, replacing today's modern machines . This will be my first time using arduinos.
“maker subculture,” which is where the latest in digital technology meets the classic do-it-yourself (DIY) world of crafting and small scale construction. Anderson is so engrossed in this world that he decided to write his latest book about it."
ReplyDelete1) From technology fanatics, to hobbyists, this "maker subculture" is growing rapidly! This community loves to share their latest creations with the world.
2) Arduinos are micro-controllers. They can pretty much do anything you put your mind to. You can program them to do things in your garden, or to play noise when you do something in your house. They are different from normal processors, because of their compact size. They can be places in smaller spaces, but they might not be able to do things as well as a normal processor would.
3) It's important for us to learn about this because we are people who have a passion for technology. We like to stay up to date with the latest technology. Arduinos can create new ideas, and help show off how great you are with tech. I went to a hacker convention last year, and they handed some out. I didn't know how to use them then, so this will be my first time knowing what I'm doing with these. I would hope to make a lock mechanism when you turn on and off the lights. I think that would be amazing.
1)" Makers tap into an American admiration for self-reliance and combine that with open-source learning, contemporary design and powerful personal technology like 3-D printers."
ReplyDelete"There are eight Maker Faire flagship fairs, including the one in San Mateo that’s held in mid-May and one in New York City, which will be held Sept 20-21."
2) Arduinos are microprocessors that can control, hack and taker over objects. Not only can it od that but it can make fun technology. Making life easier. Such as a clock. Software is written in Java. It is also an opean sourse hardware. They are just recently released for sale. Bluno, AVR.duino U+,SainSmart UNO, SainSmart Mega 2560, and many more. They all look very similar in build up of hardware.
3) The reason we learn about these is these are the next developments to controlling object, and changing the world. We are lucky enough to have them first hand and learn about them. These advances are going to change how we do many things. We in our classroom and the world could accomplish great thing with this technology. Ease and bliss with control.
1.The next industrial revolution is right around the corner, and it's going to be bigger than the Internet."With the right motivation and time on your hands, you can now go through your own personal industrial revolution in 90 days, and can launch a company or product within those 90 days." The maker movement is a trend where groups of people make products that are made of recycled or raw material with computer-related devices.
ReplyDelete2. An Arduino is a device use for making more physical, world sensing computer. It is a physical computing platform based on a microcontroller that you can write software for the board. The Arduino is similar to some other microprocessors in the fact that it take the messy details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up in an easy-to-use package. But different because they are relatively inexpensive, it can run on most platforms and is simpler than most microcontrollers as a few examples.
3. We want to learn about Arduino boards because these devices give us the opportunity to make all kinds of objects and products and learn about the cutting edge of science.
1. "THE MAKER MOVEMENT is a global community of inventors, designers, engineers, artists, programmers, hackers, tinkerers, craftsmen and DIY’ers." The Maker Movement is an innovative new way to go about education, and educating kids K-12 to learn to make their ideas and thoughts into a reality by first breaking it down into smaller pieces and building their idea up accumulatively over time to make it complete while developing a new way for kids to find out what they can really do and how they can do it too.
ReplyDelete2. The Arduino is a processing microcontroller device that has many different modules and device types. The Arudino Uno is a processing module that allows the user to write code to do an array of different things that unlock more potential and motivation for the user. It is however slightly identical to other microcontrollers and or microprocessors, however it provides an simple-to-use way to allow the most use out of it. The Arduino is also affordable and is able to be used on most types of computers without hassle.
3. I've never coded before but this provides me with a fun starting point to go off of and expand into bigger and better things. The reason this tech is made is to simplify otherwise tedious coding and compile it faster and easier, with this, the tech universe can get ahead of the game and discover more possibilities. As far as what I could do with this, I'm at a loss, because from looking at this, the possibilities are boundless and endless, all it takes is some practice and some creativity to make something completely spectacular.
1."Across the country, "makerspaces" are popping up to satisfy demand for affordable access to industrial tools and shared work spaces. These massive fabrication facilities are like a cross between a business incubator and a manufacturing plant, with sprinklings of academia and community spirit thrown in for good measure". I learned that "makerspaces" have produced many items such as the Pebble smartwatch and the MakerBot 3-D printer all came.
ReplyDelete2. Arduino is a tool for making electronics that can sense and control more of the physical features compared to your desktop computer/laptop. It's an computing platform on a simple microcontroller board.
3. We would care about these because they are a great starting platform and help teach wiring and coding. I have a little bit of experience with arduinos. My cousin and i were learning from trial and error and we ended up making pieces of metal that heat within a second to the point to melt plastic. I think we could make projects involving many different parts so not every arduino is the same but all are difficult.
1) "Many makers are hobbyists, enthusiasts or students (amateurs!)–but they are also a wellspring of innovation, creating new products and producing value in the community. Some makers do become entrepreneurs and start companies." From these sentences I learned that to be a maker you dont have to be special and that some makers become big things.
ReplyDelete2) An Arduino is a microprocessor that can perform a range of tasks from lighting an led to tying your shoes for you. This device is different from others as its small and really powerful. An Arduino is basically a mini computer.
3) We care about devices such as these because they will one day be the future of technology as everything gets smaller and we will be able to use them. I didn't have experience with these devices until I started genyes. Now all I know are basics since I have only worked with one for a few weeks. With these devices we could create a range of things and make it do a range of tasks.
1. "The combination of ingenious makers and innovative technologies such as the Arduino microcontroller and personal 3D printing are driving innovation in manufacturing, engineering, industrial design, hardware technology and education." The maker movement are groups of individuals who create and market products that are recreated and assembled using broken parts and electronics.
ReplyDelete2.Its basically lets you programs really cool stuff like arduino cars, robots, and many other cool things by just using a code
3. I have no experience with these type of projects and really technology itself that why i joined Gen yes to expand my knowledge
