New Workbenches
The Tech just opened its new Silicon Workshop section in the Innovation Gallery (upstairs). It features four new extremely cool workbenches. There was a walk-through training for volunteers on Friday and Saturday. Here are some photos. You should definitely stop by and try them out!
Here's Peggy, head of exhibits and one of the most amazing, cool people I've ever met, showing us how to build a smart device to feed our fish.
Brittany and Missy are using logic blocks to program Mr. Potato Head to respond to his environment.
On this workbench, you hardwire a chip to control a car.
Tech COO Meredith Taylor helps Boss Dog and his cats design a simple chip to build a robot dino which will light the barbeque, feed the cats, and help with homework.
