Programar es un juego de niños: los "clubs de código" aterrizan en España. Las actividades extraescolares de los colegios suelen incluir desde lecciones de algún instrumento musical hasta idiomas, pasando por deportes varios.

Programar es un juego de niños: los "clubs de código" aterrizan en España

Los más atrevidos pueden apuntarse también a clases de ballet o teatro. Cuando los niños son más mayores, en las listas de propuestas de los centros y empresas que trabajan en este ámbito aparecen asuntos más serios: clubs de estudio, de matemáticas o de informática.

Si estás pensando en crear tu propia PCB, no te pierdas los vídeo tutoriales de Chris Gammell sobre el diseño y producción de una PCB utilizando Kicad.

PCB: Desde el diseño hasta la producción con Kicad

Muchos utilizamos Eagle, pero no hay que despreciar Kicad que además de ser Open Source, es realmente muy potente. En un total de 7 vídeos Chris nos enseña cómo diseñar una PCB, incluso diseñando partes específicas con el editor de partes, hasta generar los ficheros Gerbers para poder enviarlos a cualquier fábrica de PCB profesional. Por supuesto, siempre podemos optar por hacer nuestras PCB caseras en casa como toda la vida, pero hoy en dia debido a los precios más que ajustados de las fábricas (y no necesariamente en Asia), cualquiera puede permitirse una fabricación realmente profesional. Queremos conocer vuestra opinión: Por qué optais preferiblemente a la hora de montar vuestras placas: Hacerla de forma casera en casa o preferis enviarla a una fábrica? Estamos ansiosos por ver el debate en los comentarios!

Building Stuff: Flex Sensors by Flexpoint

And I have to say, that I really love them... While the company appears to focus on custom design, they produce standard sensors in three sizes, 3", 2" and 1". The actual variable resistor within the sensor is a bit shorter. Check the image for approximate actual measures: Other flex sensors I had previously worked with where quite noisy and corse. I started playing with the three inch sensor. The signal is as clean as I would expect from a high quality potentiometer Using a voltage divider by Phidgets and an Arduino Duemillenove I was able to get a resolution of 800 pointsThere is a slight memory effect.

Guilherme Martins : PAPERduino’s design

We eliminated the PCB and use paper and cardboard as support and the result is.. the PAPERduino :D This is the the first version of the layout design, next we will try more designs, and another materials. You just need to print the top and the bottom layout, and glue them to any kind of support you want.

We hope that you start making your own boards. If you do, please share your photos with us, we would love to see them ;) There is no USB direct connection, so to program the paperduino you will need some kind of FTDI cable or adapter.

A split reed and lampblack in water and tree gum gives us pen and ink. With these we can write "The unexamined life is not worth living", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "E = mc2", make a beautiful drawing, compose a fugue, and send them around the world without having to travel with them and long after we have passed away. Perhaps even more wonderful: every child can immediately start to express and augment their fresh new thoughts with pen and paper. This is a very powerful idea! Every piece of writing invites comment in writing, because with paper, "authoring is always on".

Now, come up with an inexpensive and efficient way to make type, make the ink sticky, and we can multiply these ideas by the million through the printing press. To get the same coverage for "Common Sense" today would require a printing of perhaps 100 million copies. Tracing the Dynabook. Abstract The origins of the personal computer are found in an educational vision.

Tracing the Dynabook

Desktop computing and multimedia were not first conceived as tools for office workers or media professionals— they were prototyped as “personal dynamic media” for children. Alan Kay, then at Xerox’ Palo Alto Research Center, saw in the emerging digital world the possibility of a communications revolution and argued that this revolution should be in the hands of children. Focusing on the development of the “Dynabook,” Kay’s research group established a wide-ranging conception of personal and educational computing, based on the ideal of a new systems literacy, of which computing is an integral part. Kay’s research led to two dominant computing paradigms: the graphical user interface for personal computers, and object-oriented programming. This dissertation is a historical treatment of the Dynabook vision and its implementations in changing contexts over 35 years.
