| == Announcements == Brett will be available in Garage M, W 3:00-4:30 pm. Spring 2018: Noncredit pop-up classes Thursdays 5-6pm in Garage Physics start 19 Oct 2017. In individual sessions, the participant will learn computer-aided design (CAD) and 3d-printing, to program an Arduino computer from their laptop, to connect to various sensors and store data wirelessly on a server, and to write an Android app, all for science and applications. There are no prereq’s though some programming experience of some/any kind would be helpful. COntact Julian or April to attend and watch for announcements on the Garage email distribution list. == In the news... == 20 April 2018: The Badgerloop team has revealed POD III. 0-300mph, and (significantly) back to 0, in 3/4 mile. About 30 core members will take POD III to the 3rd Hyperloop competition at SPACEX, scheduled for 22 July 2018. See campus news https://news.wisc.edu/newest-badgerloop-pod-unveiled/ . |

Fall 2016 news: An 8-week noncredit mini class/workshop in Apps, Arduinos, and Sensors which will meet Monday’s 4-5pm in Garage starting 10 Oct ending 28 Nov.. In this class, the student will have an opportunity to learn to write an Android app, program an Arduino computer (Google it if you don’t know what that is), and to connect those devices to various sensors for science and for e.g. Internet of Things (IOT) applications. The enrollment will be limited to 10 committed students who are Garage members and able to make all class meetings. There are no prereq’s though some programming experience of some/any kind would be helpful. A personal interview with Jim is required. Contact him at mcglade *at* wisc.edu to express your interest. Spring 2017 news: Pop-up classes in 3d-printing, app-writing, arduino programming, and sensors will be offered this semester R 5pm alternate weeks beginning 2 Mar. Contact Jim McGlade mcglade *at* wisc.edu to register. |
