Common Core Speaking in action. Arvind Gupta. Our core belief is that children learn by doing - by touching, feeling, cutting, sticking -- pulling things apart, putting things together. We believe that this hands-on science helps them relate to curriculum and get conceptual understanding. We believe this will revolutionize the way children learn. A child lighting up a LED with a Syringe Generator is more likely to light up his village tomorrow. Our approach is inclusive. All the materials used in our activities are very affordable and accessible to every child across the globe, developing or developed countries alike. Ours is the most cost effective outreach program in the world, with cost of 15 paisa per person (0.2 cents per person). Our Goal We want to design science and math activities to comprehensively cover the whole curriculum. Raspberry Pi photo booth controller. Photo booths are fun!
They can inspire goofiness in just about anyone. For my first project with the Raspberry Pi I built a photo booth for a party. This was a great project for learning to tinker with photography and electronics on the Pi. People were happy with the booth, and curious how it was built, so I thought I'd share what I learned. This project tutorial assumes a very basic knowledge of linux/bash and the ability to solder a simple circuit. Overview: four main components of the booth Camera, with USB connection and preferably with an AC power adapter and tripod Photo printer Controller, the user interface, with a start button and indicator lights, and a brain of Raspberry Pi, which controls the camera, assembles the photo montage, and drives the printer. During setup: SD card reader computer to set up the SD card monitor/TV with HDMI USB keyboard and mouse.
Paint With Light. Maker Faire as Learning Lab: Class Pack for teachers + parents + kids. We’re delighted to announce a new addition to this year’s Maker Faire educational offerings: a Class Pack filled with behind-the-scenes information and activity sheets designed just for you: teachers and parents who look forward to Maker Faire as your favorite learning-packed weekend of the year!
Whether or not you are coming to our sold out Education Day on Thursday, May 16, take a peek for materials that you might want to use in your classroom. We’d like to share some of the special treats you’ll find in this 38-page booklet. A Recipe for a Maker Faire We have swung open the doors of our maker pantry and listed a good number of the ingredients that go into our recipe for Maker Faire, which feeds the imaginations of 120,000 visitors and 900 Makers.
We took our delicious DIY feast and came up with some challenging scenarios you can use to prompt a discussion with your kids. Am I a Maker? Maker Faire Bingo Light Up and Paint Wacky Project Brainstorm. Drawdio. Drawdio.

In both June and July we ran two ULearn Academies at the Chickasha Campus for our new ULearn coaches and students.
Perhaps the best way to introduce what ULearn is all about is to work backwards. So in the video below we have crunched 10 days of ULearn Academy content into 4:17 of video. In my next blog I will elaborate on what is taking place. Our ULearn Academy School Districts include: El Reno, Yukon, Mustang, Tuttle, AMPO, Chickasha, Ninnekah, & Rush Springs. We will also get you properly introduced to our Coaches and Students in following blogs. Upon the suggestion by Dr. I returned from CMK with one resolve which is to help my CVTC sending-school coaches replicate that sort of experience with their students as we Launch Iteration 0 of ULearn Academy.
So this is what a 50 year old guy comes-up with after 3 days of CMK14. It is an interesting time to be involved in teaching and learning. I am writing this blog to spotlight the project.
