RespiCon: Respiratory Support Inventors’ Conference, Friday May 28 #NationOfMakers #WeekofMaking @NationOfMakers
RespiCon may be happening after the official National Week of Making has ended, but that shouldn’t take away from this making and policy focused discussion.
Join us for a free, 4-hour virtual mini-conference on technology and policy of free-libre open source mechanical respiration support and oxygen support, specifically in the context of COVID-19.
The conferences will have two CONSECUTIVE (not concurrent) tracks. The first track will feature demos and technical discussions aimed at the maker, engineer, and inventors, but is sure to be interesting to policy makers.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
