Minecraft Training!
Wed, 02/19/2014 - 01:04 — GephThis next Sunday at 4:00p (after the operations meeting) Jeff Ginger will hold an open (free) Minecraft workshop in the computer lab area at the Fab Lab. This will include:
- What is Minecraft, basics of play, why it's neato
- Using the Fab Lab Minecraft server, how to access files
- Showing a variety of tools for 3D rendering and modeling
- A little bit on using redstone to learn computer circuits
- Digital storytelling with adventure mode
Fab Lab staff I expect you to come to this. Kids who are old enough and focused enough to teach other kids (and adults!) are welcome to join.
Circuit Scribe: Draw Circuits Instantly
Sat, 11/23/2013 - 16:47 — GephA project started (in part) by a Fab Lab patron and UIUC Material Sciences researcher, Analisa Russo, Circuit Scribe is an easy way to get into learning circuits on paper and get around breadboard learning techniques. Learn more (and donate, if you like) here:
I believe a few of us are going to pick a version up for the main lab and TUFL to test and play with. More on the project at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electroninks/circuit-scribe-draw-circuits-instantly
