The tech lab is the place to be on Monday and Wednesdays afternoons. 2 weeks into DigiArts, students are knee-deep in a variety of excellent projects:

  • Jake successfully installed Linux on a donated computer and also harvested motors from a DVD/VCR combo unit.
  • Alex is trying to change the infrared filter on an old video camera to capture a light spectrum invisible to the human eye.
  • Ella and Cillian have got the Arduino boards communicating with a couple of lab computers, and are writing basic programs (so far just output but soon we’ll tackle input as well).
  • Rachel, Torri, Remy, Charlie and Griffyn are working on 3 different screenplays and will begin filming next week.
  • Noah completed his first hand-coded website. Click here to view his iPad review and then click here to learn more about it.
  • Lexi is recording a reharmonization of a Miley Cyrus song.
  • Mike dismantled a laptop and is ordering a couple of kits from the MakerShed.
  • Elijah has been working with a mixing board for turntables and an old Yamaha keyboard.
