Projects

International Space Station ExoLab NEXT

Magnitude has built its own equipment (ExoLab) to connect learning centers around the world to the International Space Station. Would you like to join us? The platform to is being opened for third party development for work in controlled environments. In addition to our K-12 outreach, collaborators include university researchers and (informally) NASA scientists and engineers. Visitors will have a chance to plant research seeds to take home in preparation for ExoLab-11 later this year. In addition to the ExoLab, the exhibit will: 1) Have a live stream of Earth courtesy of the Raspberry Pi powered ISS Above. 2) Have the ISS Mimic on display. An open source model that receives live telemetry from the ISS. 3) STEM activities with STEMfinity

Cardboard Robotics and Physical Computing with the micro:bit

The micro:bit is a low cost entry into physical computing and making engaging and interesting robots does not always require an expensive kit. This workshop will show some simple tips and tricks for using recycled and low cost materials to build robotics projects. Borrowing ideas from the Robot Petting Zoo and projects by Cecilia Hillway (lip synching robots) and Natasha Dzurny (cardboard guitar) and others you will develop a toolkit for building low cost and engaging projects. This workshop is targeted to educators interested in providing open-ended physical computing projects to their students but can be valuable for home DIYers as well.

Chabot Game Lab - Interactive Video Games

Chabot Game Lab is the game development lab from Chabot College in Hayward, CA. showcasing our latest 2D/3D games, interactive art, and hardware. We will bring our hardware and showcase various games, such as a hand-gesture ASL video game that runs in Unity with our hand-capture software, a tabletop Anti-Anxiety Card Game, various 2D games that we've made for the Game Boy, to touch-sensitive Fruit Simon Says using microcontrollers. We will also be able to sell merch and various little trinket projects (USB-powered projects) that funds our lab at Chabot College.
