Week 1: Site Setup and Example Code

Assignments

• Open and get acquainted with the online platform you are using to write your learning diary. You can follow this walk-through video for more information.
• You should have received an email with a link to setup your Learning Diary account (GitLab)
• Post on the “About Me” page of your Learning Diary:
  • A photo of you (see Asynchronous Content below for photo compression instructions)
  • What type of students do you teach?
  • Where are you from? What is your teaching context?
  • What is your current level of experience with digital fabrication in education?
  • Post your 3 minute Introduction video (in the step below)
  • Share some idea(s) about your first Field Activity. Module 1
• Create a video (< 3 min>) using any app or online platform explaining:
• Who you are?
• Show your classroom or space. Where are you located?
• What are you hoping to learn in Fab Learning academy?
• How do you connect with the Maker Movement? (Show something that you made!)
• Create a ScopesDF account.
• If you need help, follow the Instructions Document here
• Go to Whatsapp and say hello!

This task is to be completed in your local Fab Lab or makerspace, guided by your local instructor.

• Setup the documentation environment with the help of your instructor
• Explore different digital fabrication processes available in your lab (laser cutter, vinyl cutting, 3D printer). No need to go into specifics just observe the different machines working and reflect on possibilities
• Discuss with your instructor on policies and safety rules in your lab.

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
