House4Hack visits Linden High School 2013 Geek Week
House4Hack joined Linden High School in Johannesburg for a day at their 2013 Geek Week. Post invitation from the resident Linden High Computer Class teacher, House4Hack moved into formation to create an interactive day outing which closely resembled lots of geeking out in a flash-mob style. One of the objectives was to foster curiosity under the students regarding technology and to expose the students to the concepts and openness of a Hackerspace.
Demo’s included Raspberry Pi, RasPi Camera Module, Arduino, Raspberry Pi FM broadcasting hack, PingSensors, AJAX and Arduino controlled Luxeon LED under a 3D printed Lamp Shade, GPS & Arduino Mega + proto shields, Cubieboards, ASIC USB Block Erupter/BitCoin Miner, Ecksbot RepRap 3D Printer and Printrbot RepRap. Linden High students had some projects featured and in particular a demo of a sterling engine made from beer and syrup cans, steel wool, fishing line and a balloon. It was a fun day geeking out!
