Parallax oriented STEM educators in San Diego needed

xanadu

I've started a local makerspace in Vista (north county), maybe you have seen the other thread. I'm looking for someone to teach a class on PINGdar the last week of September when you are available.

We have -

Quiet and clean classroom
Small class size (5-10 makers)
Projector and laptop
Enough hardware to build 5 PINGdars
Compensation / barter

The people interested in the class range from pre-"hello world" to seasoned microcontroller users interested in Propeller architecture. It is intended to be an introduction and advanced topics will follow.

You can message me here, or email jon at seekrobotics (dot) com. Thank you.

You're hiring already? Cool! Timing's wrong for me, but HTH one day.

Thanks, I can't wait for you to stop in! Things are moving a lot faster than I thought. The timing isn't great with school, but I hope someone sees this who could give up a couple hours a month

xanadu,

I think I could provide enough hardware for your courses simply from the junk room at Parallax. It's really a misnomer since the hardware is actually quite good. If you are interested, contact me via e-mail kgracey@parallax.com and I can give you a quick Skype tour of our graveyard and build a box for you at the same time.

Ken Gracey called me today. I never thought I'd say that. Thanks Ken!

I caught a glimpse of this and managed to grab a screenshot. "The Graveyard"

This would be me every day if I lived near Parallax.



Let's see if this gif animates or not.

Judge Dredd ABC War robot! We had that movie prop in our NY toy fair gallery back when Mattel sold the toys. "I AM DA LAW!" "RICO!" "That's my boy!"
