After working out her very own design with the team, she got a little help putting together the hardware, and with a bit of elbow grease and some iteration <i>(failure is always an option!)</i> she's sure to get to <a href="http://robogames.net/">Robogames</a> with her very own WaterColorBot! Not to mention our favorite <a href="http://www.robotgrrl.com/">RobotGrrl</a> will be coming in to help with software, so it's sure ot be a winner no matter what. :)</p> <p>Next up, kicking off on March 9th in Los Angeles, Sylvia will be joining the awesome staff of Brentwood school in teaching basic soldering skills to students, building the <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/products/14">Adafruit minty boost</a> at the <a href="http://www.bwscampus.com/about/STEAMday/index.aspx">first annual <i title="Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics">S.T.E.A.M.</i></a> Day!</p> <p>And not long from now, we've got at least 5 new episodes written and ready to be shot! Unfortunately, after a tumultuous December, January <em>and</em> February, my day job <strong>is no more</strong>, and filming will have to be postponed, <i>yet again</i>, until I can find the money to continue to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table for the whole family. Once I get that out of the way, we'll make time to get a batch of episodes out: Surface mount soldering, Paper Craft Animals, Raspberry Pi, and lots more on the way...</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"> <h3 class="field-label">Tags&nbsp;</h3> <span class="field-items"> <a href="/tags/steam" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">STEAM</a>, <a href="/tags/stem" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">STEM</a>, <a href="/tags/brentwood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Brentwood</a>, <a href="/tags/away" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">away</a>, <a href="/tags/los-angeles" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Los Angeles</a>, <a href="/tags/future" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">future</a>, <a href="/tags/emsl" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">EMSL</a>, <a href="/tags/lenore-edman" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Lenore Edman</a>, <a href="/tags/windell-oskay" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Windell Oskay</a>, <a href="/tags/watercolorbot" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">WaterColorBot</a>, <a href="/tags/robots" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">robots</a>, <a href="/tags/robogames" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">robogames</a> </span> </div> Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:27:27 +0000 TechNinja 85 at http://sylviashow.com http://sylviashow.com/blog/techninja/2013/02/28/steam-day-robot-building-and-new-episodes#comments
