TechSavvyGirls: Day 91 - The Journey to Understanding Ohms, Voltage, and Amps
http://techsavvygirls.blogspot.com/2015/04/day-91-journey-to-understanding-ohms.html
A commitment to spend 2015 giving TechSavvy Girls some daily attention. Saturday, April 25, 2015. Day 91 - The Journey to Understanding Ohms, Voltage, and Amps. What was different about my power source this time that caused such a reaction? Why had there been no sparks flying on previous projects where threads had accidentally touched? Might some of my projects create fire hazards? Was it environment due to gender and culture that contributed to my experience gaps in all things science. Whatever it w...

TechSavvyGirls: Day 92 Ohms, Voltage, and Amps in Maker projects
http://techsavvygirls.blogspot.com/2015/04/day-92-ohms-voltage-and-amps-in-maker.html
A commitment to spend 2015 giving TechSavvy Girls some daily attention. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Day 92 Ohms, Voltage, and Amps in Maker projects. Yesterday I started to share that my mental model around volts, amps, and ohms was finally emerging to a point where I felt that the fog had lifted. While that post was a reflection of the learning process by which this happened, today I thought I’d do a quick explanation of that mental model using the explanation provided in this Sparkfun tutorial. Let’s...

Documentation for IGNITE A Maker. Let's learn together. More information can be found at http:/ www.connectedvoices.org/ignitemaker. Saturday, May 23, 2015. This book has been one of my best friends of late, though I have not limited myself to etextiles. Okay, the truth is that I have more projects started than a normal person would attempt. If I know this, then why am I continuing to do it? Because I am not a normal person! Because I love what I'm doing! Have you ever heard of Genius Hour? March is for ...

http://igniteamaker.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Documentation for IGNITE A Maker. Let's learn together. More information can be found at http:/ www.connectedvoices.org/ignitemaker. Wednesday, January 27, 2016. When I hung up my art teaching beret and returned to school librarian, I inherited a collection that hadn't been weeded in 20-30 years. It was time for a haul-out. I started folding some book pages, and thinking about the discarded books as sculptural objects. I laser cut some letters I want to add to the books to make a read. The book garden id...

Documentation for IGNITE A Maker. Let's learn together. More information can be found at http:/ www.connectedvoices.org/ignitemaker. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. In my last post. I shared my first completed eTextile, a hat that plays Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. In sync with his flashing nose! After quite a bit of trial and error, I added a temperature sensor and got my hat working the way I want it to! Figuring out the code for this sensor wasn't entirely intuitive. In any case, when I wear my hat ind...

TechSavvyGirls: June 2015
http://techsavvygirls.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A commitment to spend 2015 giving TechSavvy Girls some daily attention. Sunday, June 14, 2015. Day 96 - Sustainability issues for 'keeping our female coders". Yesterday I wrote about balance. The fact that finding balance is particularly challenging in the tech industry has been agreed upon for some time, might have something to do with this (not so surprising) demographic analysis graphic I found in the latest issue of Bloomberg Businessweek issue "What is Code? If you are subject to or witness unaccept...
