Design Lab Playdates
Thanks in part to a Community Building Grant from the EHD Office of Student Affairs, we are excited to offer a variety of playdates in the Design Lab (Room 300 in Ridley Hall). These playdates are open and free to all!
November 5 - noon to 1pm - Create a binary bracelet
One of the fundamental computer science concepts is that everything we do on a computer is really just turning binary digits on and off. Even though this sounds simple, it can be a concept that is hard to wrap one's head around. This activity brings the binary concept to reality through the creation of binary bracelets.
December 3 - noon to 1pm - Create a LED card
When you make an LED card, you are bringing together the fundamentals of electronics that make up computers - power (battery), input (an open or closed circuit) & output (LED light). It’s also a great way to reinforce that the binary states of on and off are at the core of all computing.
More dates to be announced soon!
