Hey. Can I send in a watch dogs request please when sitara is R’s older sister, and they are mute; and Sitara is really protective of them like Josh? Maybe like someone makes fun of them online or something and Sitara goes full big sister mode and comforts R while going after whoever sent the messages?

A/n: sorry if this is a bit short anon but also I enjoyed writing for watchdogs !! Gn Reader !!

Simple Mistake

Sitara Dhawan x mute!younger!sibling!reader

( summary: when the HQ gets hacked by some trolls with a petty grudge against "S1lentz0" they don't necessarily hold back on the idiot that left them such an obvious trail to follow, you )

warnings?: cyberbullying, swearing, talks of violence and guns, reader knows sign language!! ( italics are sign language )

!-!more under the cut!-!

You hadn't meant for this to happen honestly. You were in the hackerspace in your usual spot on the couch just patching up some code in the servers on your laptop. Recently Lenni had hacked into your guys' network and left so many backdoors and holes in your servers meaning you were much more susceptible to hacks these days. If you didn't patch this now who knows who could hack you next. You typed away at the keyboard your eyes following line after line of code when Wrench called for you. You were busy, but he said it'd only be a second and that if you didn't hold a very specific wire for him while he searched for his pliers then the thing he was working on would blow up in all of your faces, literally. Josh was busy with a similar task to yours, patching up the network after Lenni got in and removing any potential backdoors she could've left. Sitara was helping Markus with the 3D printer as he got ready to leave for another physical hack across LA. So you reluctantly looked away from your laptop, leaving your unfinished vulnerable servers for just a minute too long.

Sitara shot you a smile as she noticed you walking over to Wrench and you shot her one back. It was nice that even after all these years you still had a good relationship with your older sister. Not a lot of siblings can say that they stay as close as you two have. You look up to Sitara, the way she's so bold in both her art and real life, sometimes you wish you could be like that.

But you're not.

And that thought alone used to bug you so much but Sitara reassured you that you were perfectly fine as you. She's always looked out for you since you two were kids. Being mute and more reserved, it was a lot harder to make friends or to feel useful most days. There was always something bad happening in the world and you felt terrible knowing there was often nothing you could to to help. But after joining Dedsec as 'S1lentz0' with Sitara you've found that there are tons of different people in the world just like you and they're all helpful in their own ways.

Speaking of helpful, you cautiously grabbed the wire that Wrench held. "Good now keep that steady, don't let it touch any other wires or we're all dead...mmm- probably." He ranted as he ducked underneath his workstation in search of his preferred tool. You glanced down at him every so often, cursing in your hands as your hands struggled to stay perfectly steady, though with the amount of energy drinks the whole team downs you're not entirely shocked that you can't help the involuntary motion. "Aha!" Wrench yelled, shooting up only to hit his head on the underside of the table, making the whole thing shake. Your eyes widened as sparks flew momentarily before you grabbed the device to steady it before the wire could react with anything else. "owww," Wrench groaned as he stood up straight, rubbing the back of his head, his mask showing his displeasure. You breathed out a sigh of relief at the lack of any sort of explosion before Wrench took over again, grabbing the wire from your hand delicately as he looked at you. "Your presence is appreciated my dear friend," he put on a fake British accent as he spoke, patting your cheek with the pliers twice before focusing his attention back on the device. You nodded and took that as your cue to leave. Walking back over to your laptop, you huffed down onto the couch with a sigh ready to get back to work.

The sound of beeping caught your attention and you froze, grabbing your laptop you stared at the screen with wide eyes as some stupid animation of a snake firing a gun with its tail played. It shot through your code, 1's and 0's flying everywhere as a mechanical laugh played. The snake slithered into the hole it shot and suddenly the rest of the TVs in your hackerspace were projecting the image of the snake. "What the hell is that?" Marcus questioned making everyone stop to peer at the screens. You cursed in your head as you frantically tried to stop the hack before it could get any worse.

At this point, the damage was already done though. Everyone crowded around the screens as a mechanical voice spoke. "S1lentz0 has left you vulnerable. That quiet idiot can't code to save their miserable life." It spoke, and you jumped reacting as if their words had physically hit you. You just tried to ignore their words as you started to lock them out of your system.

Sitara's jaw clenched as she stared at the screens. "Don't you talk about them like that you worthless pricks." She spat, anger evident in her voice as she crossed her arms. The voice let out the same mechanical laugh from before and Sitara only glared at the sound. "They brought down our encryptions and stole our codes to fix your vulnerable systems and thought we simply wouldn't take notice?" You'd began to sweat slightly as your fingers typed rapidly to shut them down. "Wait, so you're calling them worthless because they hacked you and took down your precious encryptions?" Marcus asked, holding back a laugh at their petty reasoning. "Snakes with cowboy hats? Who's idea was that?" Wrench spoke up, laughing much more boldly than Marcus making Josh roll his eyes at the situation. "I've heard of these guys, they're a newer hacker group called Ouroboros. Their systems are so outdated, I'm not shocked that you got your shit hacked and taken down so quickly," Sitara spoke, still glaring at the screen as she continued. "Don't be mad because my little sibling outsmarted your dumbass encryptions. The only reason you're even here is because some other hacker group weakened our system, not because you're skilled hackers." The mechanical voice tried spitting back but was washed from the screens as you finally kicked them out for good, patching up your network in the process.

With a sigh your head fell into your hands, you felt so bad that you let this happen. "welp, that was stupid," Marcus said before going back over to the printer but Sitara was looking at you. Her eyebrows were furrowed with worry as she saw you with your head in your hands, knowing exactly what you were thinking. Walking over to the couch she crouched down next to you, placing her hand on your knee as she softly called your name. "Y/n," You peeked from your hands to look at her. 'I'm sorry,' you signed, 'I didn't mean to leave us vulnerable.' you frowned, looking back towards your laptop to avoid her eye. Sitara sighed before moving to sit next to you. With a smile she bumped your shoulder and you looked at her again. "Hey, it's not your fault ok? If we're gonna blame anyone here its Lenni. She was the one to leave us vulnerable, you were just trying to fix it." 'Yeah but I got distracted.' "And that's completely ok," she placed her hand on your shoulder and you leaned into the comfort now going into a side hug with her. 'Is it really?' you signed, and she smiled "Yes! It is y/n, nobody's blaming you hun just look around." She was right, everyone had simply went back to their original tasks. It was almost as if you guys hadn't got hacked only a few minutes prior. "Those guys that hacked us are just run of this mill idiots they don't pose any real threat." She said with a playful roll of her eyes and you hesitantly smiled at her wording.

You guess she was right, you'd only hacked them a while ago to steal some parts of their firewall that you thought would be useful in your own. You often do that, stealing multiple different encryptions and putting them all together for one mega-encryption that was damn hard to hack. "Don't beat yourself up over this alright y/n? Trust me, me and Marcus are gonna get them back, right Marcus?" She smiled at the approaching male, "Damn right," Marcus said with a smirk, placing his newly made zap-gun in a holster under his hoodie.

Moving out of the hug you turned and smiled at Marcus. 'Thanks you guys,' You signed and Marcus looked at Sitara for translation, he was trying to learn more ASL for you but it's a lot harder than he thought it'd be. "You're welcome Y/n," She said, eyeing Marcus as she placed a hand on your head and Marcus nodded. You couldn't help but feel better at the interaction. Just having confirmation that they had your back in situations like these was enough to make you beam. You truly loved your team at Dedsec and you wouldn't trade it for the world.

How an LA Hackerspace Became a Lifeline for Hospitals, Tribal Nations, BLM Medics & Schools

An unassuming group of 'hackers and makers' out of Culver City have been working under the radar for months out of a cavernous church-turned-distribution center to churn out hard-to-get personal protective equipment (PPE).

For more than a decade, the nonprofit Collaborative Research Association of Social Hacktivity, or CRASH Space, has served as a clubhouse of sorts for interactive artists, hackers, engineers, fabricators, software developers — or as they informally often go by, nerds. But during the pandemic, the nonprofit group dedicated to innovation has been a lifeline.

The collective has been filling gaps in global supply chains — especially during the pandemic's early days — providing 25,000 total masks, ear savers and face shields to major hospitals and nursing homes across the U.S., and to vulnerable communities like the poorly-served Navajo Nation and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

Since March, the group has donated to more than a dozen hospitals, community groups and organisations, including the Culver City Unified School District's Parent-Teacher Assn. as its staff geared up for the new school year. At many times over the past few months, CRASH members sacrificed sleep and worked around the clock to fulfil immediate needs.

"Anything that we can do to help do something is better than (doing) nothing," said Kevin Jordan, as two 3-D printers hummed behind him. Jordan, who heads up production for CRASH's response, has wrangled logistics, such as doling out donated printers and dealing with printing and designs.

« L'idée c'est de placer le spectateur au cœur du festival »

MNNQNS, Morcheeba, Manu Le Malin, Melvins, Otzeki, tous étaient samedi 29 septembre au festival Détonation à Besançon. Si les musiques actuelles sont placées au cœur de cet événement de rentrée, il permet à ses visiteurs une aventure non-ordinaire. Ici, le festivalier est un véritable spectacteur puisqu'il participe physiquement à l'événement !

Sous la citadelle de Besançon, classée à l'UNESCO, le charme opère : sa hauteur et son reflet illuminé dans le Doubs en font une scène de carte postale. Incrustés dans ce paysage, le festival Détonation et ses célèbres concerts de rentrée apportent une parenthèse qui claque ! Projecteurs dans la rétine, riffs de guitare dans les tympans et odeurs de frites dans les narines, les festivaliers se déhanchent, se bousculent, s'extasient. Au milieu des scènes, du stand associatif, et des foodtrucks, un espace pas comme les autres !

Le hackerspace 3615 Senor, une sorte de laboratoire communautaire, souhaite faire vivre une expérience sensorielle aux festivaliers par le biais de trois objets interactifs. L'un d'eux, le Sonic Boom permet de s'emparer de l'immense mur qui domine le site. Sur une table tactile, plusieurs formes sont projetées, générées grâce aux vibrations musicales. Les festivaliers doivent les toucher pour que de nouvelles se créer. Ces dernières sont alors visibles sur la grande façade et sont prêtes à être explosées virtuellement grâce à un énorme canon en bois. Une véritable détonation graphique qui permet d'apporter un côté ludiqueà l’événement.

« Les festivaliers doivent s'impliquer physiquement »

Guillaume Bertrand, designer graphique et interactif et membre de 3615 Senor, a réalisé ces trois interactions. Nées de commandes proposées par la Rodia, scène de musiques actuelles qui organise le festival, l'artiste a pourtant eu carte blanche. « Dans le cadre de Détonation on reste toujours sur des installations qui sont ludiques. » explique t-il. « Ce qui me plaît dans les dispositifs interactifs qu'on essaie de proposer, c'est de mettre en route le fait que les spectateurs doivent s'impliquer physiquement dans ce qu'ils font. Quand on est devant un d'un concert, on est extérieur à la scène, mais on peut s'impliquer physiquement si on se met un petit peu à danser. » Proposer une dimension physique aux festivaliers, voici leur credo.

Autour de la table tactile du Sonic Boom, un groupe d'amis s'affèrent à créer des formes, tandis qu'un des leurs se positionne devant le canon. Margaux, bénévole interactivité, explique aux festivaliers le fonctionnement : « Tu vas détruire les carrés qui sont sur l'écran là-bas ».

« Les gens ne s'attendent pas forcément à faire ça dans un festival de musique. C'est assez surprenant pour eux et pour nous en même temps. Et puis, visuellement c'est super sympa ! » raconte t-elle avec le sourire. Même si cette jeune étudiante n'a pas eu l'opportunité de vivre plusieurs événements comme celui-ci, elle est ravie de son poste pour la soirée. « Ces pauses ludiques, ça apporte une petite touche... plus humaine presque ! ».

Entre technologie, musique et souvenirs

« On trouve qu'il y a de plus en plus de ponts entre la technologie et la musique. Les musiciens qui font de l'électro développent parfois eux-mêmes des logiciels pour créer leur musique. » Simon Nicolas, chargé de communication à la Rodia, insiste sur ce lien qui a été à la base du festival interactif. Si au début, le mapping était l'une des interactions principales, ils ont très vite évolué et ont créé leur propre identité. « On se doute bien que cela ne va pas intéresser tout le monde. Tout le monde n'a pas envie de créer. Mais on se rend compte au fur et à mesure des années qu'il y a de plus en plus de gens qui se laissent tenter. »

L'équipe de cette salle de musiques actuelles s'est très vite rendu compte, que beaucoup de spectateurs restaient le nez sur leur téléphone pendant un concert. Que ce soit pour filmer ou prendre des photos : « j'ai l'impression qu'ils ne vivent pas le truc ! Nous, ce pourquoi on se lève le matin, c'est pour faire vivre les choses aux gens » affirme t-il. Impliquer directement et physiquement le festivalier pour le rendre spectacteur. « L'utopie qu'on a, c'est que les festivaliers repartent avec des souvenirs dans leur tête ».

GUADEC Conference Summary 2018

GNOME Users and Developers Europe Conference 2018

Table of Blog Contents:

Cool Stuff from the GNOME Advisory Board Meeting

Topics From the Conference Talks

Lightning Talks

The Good Stuff: Projects from the Unconference Workshops

Advisory Board Meeting This was our first year attending GNOME’s Users and Developers Conference in Europe. Before the conference start, we were scheduled to attend the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board meeting. We were excited to meet the other board members from the community and learn about their current projects, especially to learn if there was any overlap on projects that we could collaborate together on. The other board members include representatives from: GNOME, Debian, Private Internet Access, Canonical, Endless, Red Hat, Suse, Free Software Foundation, and The Document Foundation.

^ Coolest group of people.

During this meeting, GNOME shared some of the list of upcoming conferences and projects, including:

UX Hackfest, November 2018

GNOME Asia (user focused), August 11-13 Taipei

Libre Application Summit (LAS) GNOME, Sept 6-9 Denver → Hosting this. Let’s elevate Linux apps!

Outreachy → get more people involved

FOSDEM, Feb 2019 Brussels

GUADEC (developer focused), 2019

Since Libre App Summit is in Denver, they’re hoping we can give a tour of the manufacturing space. Hopefully the space is ready to present to the public by then.

Gitlab

GNOME also talked about their switch to Gitlab. Their GNOME Director of Operations said, “..And [GNOME] did this before switching to Gitlab ‘was considered cool.’” Here is a video that GNOME and Gitlab made together about their partnership:

youtube

General

Talks of keeping a list of hackfest spaces available on a website so that developers know hackerspaces local to them. We loved this idea!

Talks to promote desktop remote work experience - Have Linux supersede in remote work capabilities.

GNOME presented their board information during the GUADEC conference as well:

youtube

Conference Talks

The talks overall were general updates about various pieces of the GNOME ecosystem, and what different individuals had been working on in the past year. Here are some talks that stood out:

The future of GTK

This status update focused on what’s coming next with GTK4 with regards to themability, app menus, new widgets, and more. There are several new widgets coming that we’re excited to try out, including the GtkPicture and GtkVideo widgets; we can definitely see a place for them providing rich graphics and animations throughout Pop!_OS, like in our installer, for example. The information about porting from GTK3 to GTK4 was also helpful, since we now maintain and ship a number of GTK3 apps in Pop!_OS.

Tests, profiling, and debugging Nautilus:

Tests help find performance issues, regressions, easier debugging, and finding memory leaks. Started by looking at sync vs async, modularity, refactoring for readability, etc.

GNOME Usage:

Interested in power management in Linux. “Batteries are efficient, but they’re not smart enough.” Usage is designed to tell its users (i.e. developers) what hardware and software is responsible for battery usage. Windows uses “Battery engine,” Android handles via kernel, and iOS also tracks it. Prospective design from Allan Day includes a chart of usage over time. [email protected]

Librehunt: A website to help you choose a Linux distro. To help users new to Linux. https://gitlab.com/aviwad/librehunt

How to take over GNOME:

GUADEC helped Tobias (of Purism) start contributing. He started working on design projects (Todo, Fractal, App Menu), and then was hired by Purism to work on Librem 5. Kind of an interesting case study.

Freedesktop-sdk, the future of Linux runtimes (Aud)

This is all about FreeDesktop.org efforts for cross-distro and cross-desktop compatibility, something that will become increasingly important as we tailor the UX of Pop!_OS while leaning on the GNOME and Open Source community for applications and tools.

Building the Libre Desktop Computer

We gave a talk about building the libre computer, explaining what a computer containing all open parts could create for the future of open source. We presented where we’re at in launching the desktop. This is our first time announcing details on the open desktop to the public. The talk is viewable on Youtube.

You can subscribe to receive updates on the open computer at: https://thel.io/

youtube

Lightning Talks

-Our UX Architect, Cassidy Blaede, presented on technical vs. social problems in app design. This is a talk that he wants to expand on for the LAS conference taking place in Denver this September.

-Daniel Foré of elementary gave a talk on thinking about “the user as your romantic partner.” Advices product designers/developers to apply dating advice when engaging their users.

-Robert Ancell shared his work on a fun robot project for kids by making a Raspberry Pi based Python IDE that runs over SSH—the UI is done entirely in the TTY, and so you can remote into the robot and do all the coding directly. It was a pretty stark contrast to the gamified code learning tools we’ve seen from other people, and really demonstrated that there are different effective approaches to teaching kids how to use these powerful tools.

-Britt gave a talk about being an audiologist PhD student using all sorts of open source software and 3D printed research parts—he mentioned that the big “med tech” companies are so proprietary that it’s common for medical students and researchers to default to open tools instead. This really validates what we’re doing with Pop!_OS and was really cool to hear straight from someone in the field.

-Robin from Endless had one of the most popular lightning talks. She presented a walkthrough of UX testing and design practices, and how those methods can and should change throughout the development cycle. She plans to present a full-length version of her talk at LAS conference in Denver, and we can’t wait to hear it!

Workshops and New Projects Derived from Conference

GTK BoF:

Following up on the GTK talk, we attended the GTK BoF and workshop. It was mostly focused on release planning and low-level implementation ideas, but still valuable. There’s some new diff-based frame redrawing and other optimizations that should be good for performance and power consumption, which is always important to us.

Multiple Displays BoF:

BoF on this topic can be found at the GUADEC Wiki. We hosted a conversation about how we can improve the multi-displayexperience in Mutter, Shell, and Settings. Some suggestions from the discussion included looking into contextual feature options that detect the type of display, for example: a projector detection could enable a “Presentation Mode,” possibly including the Do-Not-Disturb feature that we debuted in Pop!_OS. We also talked about upstreaming much of the work we’re doing in the HiDPI Daemon to Mutter itself, and we were thrilled to hear that Marco had been exploring similar work in Mutter already. We look forward to collaborating closer with the GNOME and Mutter folks in these areas.

Action Items for the team:

DavidJordan record how the current daemon works

Work with/talk to JonasAdahl about the Mutter-level things we could work on

CassidyJames research customers, synthesize data, and work with GNOME Design team on the future

Theming & Ecosystem BoF:

How do we improve user experience despite different themes, multiple apps? The goal of this talk was to discuss how to provide a predictable platform for developers to build on. Complete notes on the talk are available on the wiki.

While we track GNOME changes very closely and are constantly dogfooding the Pop! stylesheet, a proposed standardized theming API for Adwaita could deliver more guarantees about things not breaking in third-party apps and between major Pop!_OS releases. The GNOME design team wants to hear from downstreams like Ubuntu and Pop!_OS about what sorts of things we theme, and how it differs compared to Adwaita. We plan to work together to figure out the best way forward.

Some GNOME designers are also working on a new icon style that looks much more modern in visual style while not clashing so much with general popular third-party apps (like the slightly flatter Firefox, Spotify, VS Code, etc.). Incidentally, this new GNOME icon style looks much closer to Pop!_OS icons, which could lead to some interesting things in the future. Stay tuned!

Action Items for the team:

Reach out to Tobias to follow up with GNOME Design and Adwaita team.

We are looking forward to making progress on these projects with the community. We are hoping to reconnect with some folks at Libre Application Summit this September. We’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, we hope to see you at LAS!

Storia delle stampanti 3D

Tutti sappiamo in linea generale come funziona una stampante 3D, e a cosa serve ma,vi siete mai domandati qual è stato il percorso di evoluzione che ha subito questa macchina per arrivare ad avere l’aspetto e le funzionalità che ha adesso?

Ebbene, in questo post vi spiegherò quali sono stati i passaggi storici che hanno portato all’evoluzione della stampa 3D fino ad arrivare ai giorni nostri.

La nascita della stampa 3D risale al 1984 quando l’ingegnere Chuck Hull brevetta un nuovo metodo di stampa non più basato sul bidimensionale ma centrato interamente sulla creazione di oggetti. Questa idea innovativa riscosse fin da subito un gran successo e gli permise di poter,due anni dopo nel 1986,fondare la 3D Systems , la prima azienda di stampa 3D nel mondo.

In quegli anni vennero brevettate una serie di tecnologie che riguardano la stampa 3D, tra queste la tecnologia FDM o FFF ovvero una tecnologia che si basa sulla formazione di oggetti per fusione di un filamento.

Nel 2004 il professore di meccanica dell’università di Bath, Adrian Bowyer, inizia ad interessarsi alla possibilità di poter creare oggetti anche da casa propria con l’utilizzo di una macchina specializzata. Nel 2005 il brevetto FDM scade. Passato 1 anno e non avendo trovato qualcuno che avesse intenzione di aiutarlo con il suo progetto,Adrian Bowyer, decide di creare lui stesso una macchina , la RepRap la quale deve costare poco e ha la possibilità di auto replicarsi.

Le informazioni per costruire la macchina vengono descritte dettagliatamente nel sito della RepRap . A partire della RepRap nascono tutta una serie di esperimenti condotti da privati per la replica di queste macchine. Alcune aziende si interessano al progetto e iniziano a produrre e vendere le stampanti per un costo pari ad paio di centinaia di euro.

Nel 2007,qualche hanno dopo a New York si ritrovano tre ragazzi, Bre Pettis , Adam Mayer, Zach Smith, i quali decidono di aprire un HackerSpace dal nome “NewYorkCity Resistor” un luogo in cui gli hacker possono incontrarsi e collaborare. Uno di questi ragazzi era stato in Inghilterra ed aveva collaborato con Adrian Bowyer per la costruzione della RepRap e convince i suoi colleghi ad aiutarlo a poter migliorare questa macchina e renderla più semplice da montare.

I tre ragazzi ci riescono e costruiscono la Cupcake CNC rendendo opensource tutte le informazioni riguardanti la sua costruzione. Nel 2009 presentano il loro progetto il loro ad una fiera che si tiene ad Austin e riscuoto un grossissimo successo ricevendo più di 3500 ordini dai loro clienti che contribuiscono al miglioramento del loro progetto e alla fondazione di una loro società chiamata MakerBot.

Nel 2013 la Stratasys acquista la MakerBot per 607 milioni di dollari rimanendo ancora oggi la miglior società nel campo della stampa 3D nel mondo.

-Pace Giovanni.

Future Ada: Tech Organizing Through an Intersectional Lens

Ada Lovelace's work on the first analytical engine helped lay the path for our modern world and continues to serve as an inspiration to people worldwide, including Electronic Frontier Alliance member Future Ada.

Based in Spokane, WA, Future Ada was founded in 2017 to advance opportunities and support for underrepresented genders in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. That same year, Forbes noted that closing the gender gap could increase U.S. Gross Domestic Product by two trillion dollars, yet work environments in many of these fields are so hostile to women that over fifty-percent will leave the sector as a result.

"Just because you're not a master at your skill or you don't have something published in your name, doesn't mean you can't bring something to your field."

Since their launch, Future Ada has grown into the understanding that establishing a genuinely representative sector requires an intersectional approach, and that creating inclusive spaces, where individuals from all diverse backgrounds want to be, is key to that mission. In the days leading up to our recent collaboration on panels at this year's HOPE and DEF CON conferences, I spoke with Rebecca Long and Emilie St-Pierre—respectively Future Ada's founder and Security Ambassador—to find out what they've learned since the group’s founding, and how they have adapted to the needs of their community and this unprecedented moment.

How did the idea for Future Ada come about? What inspired it and what were some of the first steps you took toward making it a real thing?

Rebecca: In 2017, I was really struggling with my career. As a woman in tech, I was dealing with some discrimination and sexism in my own career, and I wasn't feeling supported by the leadership in my company. Honestly, I was feeling like I should quit all of tech. I felt like, ‘nobody wants me here, I don't feel welcome, and the messages that I'm getting are that I am not good enough to be here—and no one wants to help me improve to meet whatever mysterious gap that no one will disclose, then maybe I should just go do something else.’ Thankfully, I ended up going to a conference called Write/Speak/Code that happened to be nearby in Portland that year. I went with another woman on my team who's a developer. At this woman- and non-binary-specific tech conference, they had everyone divide up into two groups. One was for the people who were newer in their careers, and one who was for people who were further along. I ended up in that [second] group.

Throughout the week, we had to come up with projects and talk about them. At first, I didn’t know what to do. Then I got a text message from an old boss—also a woman—and she was expressing the same feelings. That’s when I got mad. I felt like, ‘maybe I don't belong here, but I'm sorry, I know for a fact that you belong here because you're awesome.’ I thought, what kind of nonsense is this that we're both feeling like we're being driven out of tech? I have a ton of experience—over a decade of experience at that point—and she had even more than me. I felt, ‘we're well trained and we have every right to be here.’ So, I channeled that into this project at the conference. I decided I was going to create a nonprofit.

I was already running a user group called Spokane Geek Girls and active in the community. I had already been feeling like there was more I wanted to do to help people that were coming to me for mentoring, and help, and feeling similar to me. I had this idea of a nonprofit that would be what I’d need. But, I also felt like ‘no, I don't know how to do that. I have no idea how to start a non-profit or run an organization. That's just a ridiculous idea.’ But it was at this conference I decided, nope, that's not a ridiculous idea. This is really important and I'm going to find out how to do it. So, I bothered all of the organizers of this conference to tell me everything they knew. How do I do this?

I made some friends and they helped me develop our original mission statement and our name. They were all wonderful soundboards for me. There hadn’t been anything like this in Spokane. I just tried to channel all of my anger at the industry for lack of support and all that I'd been experiencing. I thought ‘we need to do better. We need to channel that into positive energy, and I want to help other people.’ It helps me to help other people and I know other people are in similar states. Maybe they don't feel comfortable speaking up, or maybe they just haven't woken up to what's going on around them. Maybe they don't understand why they're never getting that promotion or why they're not getting these career opportunities.

It sounds like maybe that conference was an awakening moment for you in the way that you and other women were experiencing Imposter Syndrome. Are there any tools or strategies that you've been able to use that help women identify that that's what they're feeling and overcome that?

Rebecca: Every speaker—and these are folks who are accomplished, wrote books, high-level management—and they're like ‘I also feel this way.’ And it was just like, ‘what!?” That's incredible. At some level, I'd always known that. But I think hearing it, and hearing it again, and hearing everyone share their stories, that was most powerful for me. Because you feel that you aren’t good enough right now, that doesn't mean that you actually aren't good enough. It's a facade that society or various things are trying to tell you and convince you of.

Hearing other people, who are very successful, talk about that kind of stuff, and share their stories and how they work through it—even if it's ‘I just powered through,’ that’s been really helpful for me.

I try and speak about this stuff and be open with my own experiences with people, and help others know that it's okay if you are also feeling this way. That doesn't mean that you have to stop. That doesn't mean that you don't belong here. It doesn't mean that you don't deserve a promotion or that nice salary or whatever your dream job is. You can still make an impact.

In the last few years, I’ve been picking up the storytelling mantra as a tool. I want to highlight other people's stories and give people a platform, so they feel safe to talk to me about their story and I can share, with them, my story.

One of the other things that, thankfully, Emilie was able to bring was an emphasis on security. Security has always been a passion of mine but it's always been on the side, because it's not really my main job. So, I've been really happy Emilie's been able to help bring some of that to our organization with our open office hours and with our security workshops. To really make these things approachable for the whole community. We want everyone to feel like technology and all of these things are safe, and you can do it. You don't have to be some math genius to do any of this stuff.

Emilie, have you had any experiences with Imposter Syndrome or starting to buy into folks devaluing your work or your contribution?

Emilie: Yeah, fully. To this day it comes and goes. I have to say, sometimes it’ll come back in moments where I'm going through something hard at work. But I definitely had Imposter Syndrome when I was new to the security industry. I'd hang out at conferences like DEF CON when I was still new. I was learning a lot, but even though I had some skills, I constantly compared myself to the security researchers that had found vulnerabilities. These people that were presenting at these conferences, I was like ‘well, I don't have something like that to bring to the table’ so I just figured I wouldn't belong. But just because you're not a master at your skill or you don't have something published in your name, doesn't mean you can't bring something to your field. I think it took me a while to realize that. Later on, training people that were new to the field helped me realize that. ‘Oh, I can easily tell this person what they can bring to the field so why is it harder to say that to myself?’ I've gotten better with that over time, but it's very relatable.

The name Future Ada, I imagine it's an ode to Ada Lovelace, but can you talk a little bit about how you arrived at that name?

Rebecca: Yeah, it is totally in honor of Ada Lovelace. I find her very inspiring. Our whole computer industry is thanks to her. We have a tendency—over history—to erase certain people from their contributions. She was one of them. Having her as part of our name, I get to talk about her. I can say, ‘hey did you know that computer science, the whole reason we have technology, is thanks to a woman? Did you know that?’ That's been really awesome.

I want our organization to help create future Ada Lovelaces. Ada Lovelaces of today, of tomorrow, of the next day. Our next generation. Where we're inspiring folks to go out there and break those molds. Because she definitely broke molds back in her day. That's what we need to be doing. That's how you get really awesome things and you can change the world. That's what we were going for when I came up with the name.

How did you find Future Ada, Emilie?

Emilie: Thanks to the Diana Initiative, which is a small conference that tags alongside others during hacker summer camp. So, DEF CON, Blackhat, and B-Sides Las Vegas. I had just moved to Spokane, and I had already been doing these workshops over in Las Vegas about security and privacy, and had been hosting crypto parties, and I wanted that to continue in Spokane. But, Spokane is different. There wasn't a hackerspace that was open weekly. So, I just focused on seeing what I could do with other folks. When I saw that Rebecca was speaking at the Diana Initiative and it said she was from Spokane, I was so excited. I went to see her talk, and then after the talk let her know I was also from Spokane and that I’d love to do something together. I told her that I’d been doing these workshops and was looking to bring them. She was super receptive and very welcoming. Since then we’ve been doing these workshops. Learning as we go along. Now we get to offer them online, which is really cool. So, yeah, it's been fun to see our partnership grow and where we took it from there.

What are some of the biggest challenges that you faced creating the group and finding the right people?

Rebecca: Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was surprised that I had people coming to me. I was trying to keep it kind of on the D.L. that I was doing this until I had it really formulated, but word started getting out, and people were saying ‘I want in on this,’ ‘I want to be on your board,’ ‘let me help you.’ That was really inspiring.

Challenges? I'm not a marketing person, that's not my specialty. We don't really have anyone on our board that's a marketing expert. So we learned a lot on that end. I feel like we're learning a lot by doing things wrong. Not wrong, but not very effectively. We think ‘this will work great’. And it works, sort of, but we want to have a bigger reach. Learning more marketing will help us on that front but that takes time. It is a challenge.

We want to be really careful with what we do. We want to make sure that when we expand our board, that we're bringing in the right people. That we’re really mindful about that. We’re also aware of our 100% white board. As we work to expand our board, and organization leadership, we are being mindful to diversify ourselves and bring in better racial perspectives. We are working as an organization to learn how to grow and best speak on the topic of race and injustice. It's a process and it's important so we aren't shying away from it.

Are there any other challenges that you didn't anticipate?

Emilie: Creating the workshops and letting people know that we are available to help them. We spend time creating these workshops. We spend the time to get volunteers to come to workshops and be there to help folks. I thought our biggest challenge would have been managing the demand, because we literally offer free tech support—and privacy and security support—but it's actually been very easy to do that. We have open hours for folks that we want to help, but we're obviously not reaching as far as we can. For me, marketing is like an alien planet. My background is really privacy and security. I think that's the challenge I've never faced before. And definitely the hardest one from my end.

Rebecca: We've had some really successful programs. We ran March for Science last year in Spokane. It was great. It was kind of a last minute thing. We came in to help as the new parent organization, and it was super successful. We had a huge turnout but that was one event. A one-day thing. And, then we've had other one-day events that have been really successful. But then our recurring workshops aren’t even an hour and we have low turnout. We haven't unlocked that piece yet.

Since moving online because of the pandemic, we've seen higher participation in our workshops, and I feel like we're going to have higher participation across the board. So, we're working to transition everything. Next year when we restart some of our year-long programs, they'll be online or a majority online. Maybe part of our problem is that Spokane is a little different and folks have different priorities, but attending something from home, where they don't have to worry about travel or parking, I think that kind of helps avoid it and it's less of a dent in their day. I'm really hopeful that this actually can be a really positive thing for our organization. and that it also expands our reach outside of Spokane. Anyone can participate. Which is really cool because it helps broaden our reach.

Are there any other partnerships in your area that you’ve found to be effective partnerships?

Rebecca: Emilie’s been working with Volunteers of America.

Emilie: Yes. With Crosswalk. We teach teenagers about privacy and security. Online privacy and security. We've even done some introductory cryptography stuff. I'm very big on making sure that it's something fun. It’s a puzzle. We actually use some of EFF’s crypto tools for that. At the end of the workshop I told our participants ‘did you know that crypto is math and you just did math?’ They thought it was really fun and really cool. For kids that are maybe told that they're not good at math, or are uncomfortable with the idea of math, after that they realize that there's all sorts of ways to look at math. That's a big partnership for us.

Rebecca: There's another nonprofit in Spokane, that is more of a general tech nonprofit called Inland Northwest Technologists (INT). Our original Vice President came from that organization. He had brought to Spokane, with INT, this event called Code in the Dark. The last two times that event has been held in Spokane, it's been a partnership between that organization and ours. We bring in more of a diversity, and really work to help and make sure it’s an inclusive space. The first few years they ran it, it was nearly all men that were participating. Only men were in the top three winners. October of last year, the last time we held it, was the first time we had a woman win the competition. It was amazing.

We have been trying to work with the YWCA in Spokane, to help bring some of these security principles and privacy principles to their domestic violence survivors. Emily and I are very passionate about that and we want to be supporting this group of our community. We know the YWCA has been very busy. Just in general. So getting the momentum to really get that partnership off the ground has been a little slow. We're still hopeful. We're not going to give up on it anytime soon.

Emilie: We are already available for service for survivors. When we have our open office hours on Saturdays we are ready to accept survivors. We have a clinical approach to detect compromise. So, we can accept anyone that is in that situation and help them navigate their technology or help them navigate compromises or any kind of stalkerware, spyware. We are ready to do that already.

I think switching to online has been wonderful for certain aspects of what we offer. The workshops are available to a larger population, and more accessible in some ways. My only concern is office hours. We would typically do them downtown at the Spokane Library. This also gave us the opportunity to help homeless folks. We had a few people come in that don't have a computer at home. Don't have a home. How do you make sure that you're helping that population? So that’s something that, when things start to open up, we'll definitely want to make sure that we're not overlooking certain segments of the population that we might be able to help. We said we're going to focus on being very online but not 100% online, because we don't want to miss those folks that we might be able to better serve that way.

No two communities are exactly the same. That’s one of the reasons it’s so critical to have groups like Future Ada that are rooted in and can adapt to the needs of their city or town. What are you finding are the core needs of your community? Is it different from what your original expectations were?

Rebecca: My original intention was really limited. The organization was focused on gender diversity. I thought we would just focus in on that. What I've found is you can't really solve that problem without taking an intersectional approach. If you care about women in tech, then great, you're gonna need to have an inclusive environment. Hey, you know what? That also helps all these other people. So, really, focusing on shifting our mindset to be inclusive and approachable really helps everybody. That's been kind of a shift for me that I guess I was a little surprised with, but I'm really happy that we've made this turn. I'm also learning how many people in our community could use more basic support. Not necessarily learning how to program, but ‘how do I fix this on my browser?’ Really turning folks from being afraid of technology to helping them feel that they can do this. That's been a little surprising to me, but I'm really happy that that's something that we can help with. Wherever the community is, that's where we want to be to help lift everybody up.

What is Future Ada’s decision-making process like? What are the voices that are involved? How do you work together to come to a shared path?

Rebecca: We have different committees. Anything security or privacy related, Emilie is in charge of that. So, anything she says we're probably just gonna back it. We have our career mentoring committee. One of our other board members is responsible for that. It’s the same thing, whoever is responsible for a committee we've entrusted them with leading that and reporting back anything that seems more pivotal or in need of a larger decision. But, generally speaking we meet once a month as a board, and we discuss things on a regular basis. I think we're all pretty much in alignment. We're also still a really small group, board wise, and our committees are still pretty small. Once we get bigger we're gonna need a more formal process, but at the moment we're all pretty well in sync, I think. Emilie, what do you think?

Emilie: I was smiling when nash asked that question, because I was like ‘how do we come to decisions?’ Well, first we share all of our cats and cat videos during our meeting. And once we've done that, then we start really having these discussions. But what I like is that everyone is very very receptive and generally considers everyone's point of view and opinion really well. It's been a really nice dynamic, and I think it has a lot to do with, you know, starting the meeting off with cat memes and showing off our real cats, if we can. It makes a big difference.

Future Ada’s work to lift up and support Spokane women in STEAM has extended far beyond their local area, while still being focused on the needs of their own community. As members of the Electronic Frontier Alliance they have been instrumental in contributing to the development of related work for allied groups throughout the U.S.

If you are a member of a community or student-led group in your area working to protect digital security, free expression, privacy, creativity and access to knowledge, consider joining the Electronic Frontier Alliance.

Cowork: una tendencia planetaria

Cada cinco días, se abre un espacio de coworking en Londres y cada 7.5 días, se abre uno en Nueva York. Esta alta frecuencia de aperturas muestra la influencia masiva y fuerte de los espacios colaborativos en las principales ciudades del mundo, según un estudio realizado por Coworking Resources sobre el desarrollo del sector en 2019; investigación que pronostica el funcionamiento de unos 25 mil para el año 2022.

Esta tendencia mundial está relacionada con los beneficios que ofrecen los cowork a los emprendedores y freelancer como la optimización de los recursos, la disminución de ataduras que supone un arriendo o una compra de oficina y la posibilidad de integrar redes de quienes trabajan de manera independiente o quien se están iniciando en el mundo empresarial.

Cowork: Ventajas de Trabajar en un Cowork

Las investigaciones nacionales e internacionales agrupan los beneficios de los cowork en cuatro principales:

Ahorro: El uso de un espacio laboral colaborativo, además de convertirse en dirección legal y administrativa, optimiza el tiempo y el dinero en comparación con la inversión que implica montar una oficina y hacerse cargo de su compra o arriendo, habilitación de la infraestructura, mudanza y pago de cuentas como gastos comunes o luz, agua, gas e internet, limpieza y seguridad, entre otros.

como constituir una empresa

Comunidad: la compañía de profesionales de diferentes industrias enriquece la creatividad y genera sinergias y sentimientos de pertenencia a una red. Estos espacios crean el ambiente necesario para que diferentes personas, que optaron por ser independientes, con habilidades y talentos únicos se conecten y colaboren formando comunidad.

Sociabilidad: aunque hoy se cuenta con la tecnología necesaria para trabajar desde cualquier lugar incluyendo la casa, el ser humano, por su naturaleza, necesita compartir y socializar. Es estar realmente como en una oficina en que cada coworker decide con quién conversar y qué temas abordar. En el cowork formarás tu familia laboral.

Estilo de vida: los espacios laborales colaborativos forman parte de una nueva tendencia planetaria orgánica, que busca mejorar la calidad de vida con menos estrés, menos ataduras, más flexibilidad horaria.

Decídete, sólo necesitas tu energía. En el cowork encontrarás tu escritorio individual o compartido, salas de reuniones, autoservicio de cafetería, zonas comunes de descanso, aire acondicionado, internet, impresoras, aseo y seguridad.

Cowork, espacios de trabajo compartidos

En 1995 nace el precedente de cowork como los conocemos hoy. En Berlín hackerspaces (c- base) esta comunidad de expertos en informática comienzan a reunirse y compartir ideas y conocimientos. Cowork se denomina al espacio de trabajo colaborativo por lo que el primero de estos podemos identificarlo aquí. Aunque comenzaron con un poco más de 15 miembros, rápidamente y con el fin de volverse inalámbricos se convirtieron en una comunidad mucho más grande en la que se propulsó no solo la informática sino también el arte, la música y la cultura.

¿Qué ventajas tiene un cowork?

Estos espacios colaborativos permiten mantener relaciones laborales con otros emprendedores que no cuentan con un lugar privado para realizar tareas propias de su negocio.

Un cowork permite además contar con un recinto para trabajar con el concepto de oficina abierta, flexible y autónoma.

En los espacios cowork puedes tener cafetera, salas de reunión, impresora, internet de alta velocidad, cocina y otros elementos/servicios sin pensar en pagar un costo alto como lo sería una oficina normal.

No hay desventajas al contratar un servicio de cowork: es un sector que puede aportar y enriquecer el funcionamiento de tu negocio.

Cowork: aplica el trabajo colaborativo

Muchas lecciones hemos ido aprendiendo desde que vamos al colegio, hasta que salimos de la universidad y entramos a trabajar. Una de ellas es el trabajar de manera colaborativa. Si eres emprendedor es aún más posible que esta lección te sea familiar. Tan arraigado está esta lección en nuestra vida, aunque algunos no quieran verla, que incluso ha nacido un concepto que la involucra y que cada día toma más fuerza. Ese concepto tiene siete letras y se escribe: COWORK. El cowork es un espacio donde se trabaja de manera conjunta, generalmente es una sala donde se disponen mesas y escritorios, zonas de descanso y baños. El cowork se ha convertido en una tendencia, pues da posibilidad de trabajar con ventajas a nuestro favor. En el cowork podrás compartir con más emprendedores, aprender cosas nuevas, socializar, ser más productivo y ahorrar, dinero al compartir un espacio con más personas. El cowork es una forma de aplicar esa lección de vida que siempre nos enseñaron y que a veces no supimos aplicar.

Cowork: trabajemos juntos

Un cowork busca que en un mismo espacio trabajen en conjunto diversas personas. De esta forma, el cowork busca propiciar instancias de trabajo colaborativo. El cowork se puede ver como una forma de apreciar tangiblemente cómo la cooperación entre más personas puede ser beneficioso para todos los involucrados. Trabajar en un cowork supone que se compartan espacios productivos. Al compartir estos espacios, las personas pueden darse cuenta de las diversas ventajas que esto tiene. Trabajando en un cowork podrán aprender del otro; podrán ahorrar dinero al no tener un oficina propia, sino compartida; podrán buscar aliados para desarrollar nuevos proyectos de beneficio mutuo; podrán conocer a más personas que incluso podrían ser futuros clientes; podrán rodearse de nuevas ideas y someterse a la presión de estar en un ambiente donde todos están trabajando, lo que evitaría, de alguna u otra forma, la pérdida de tiempo, al compararse con el resto de las personas del cowork.

Cowork: el trabajo conjunto

Puede que no sepas lo que es un cowork, sin embargo, es una palabra que cada vez toma más fuerza y se ha convertido en una tendencia. Un cowork es un lugar de trabajo compartido, un espacio en donde múltiples emprendedores trabajan para sus propias empresas. En el cowork se comparte el territorio, sin embargo, cada empresa contará con su mesa propio en la que pueda trabajar en tranquilidad y comodidad. Un cowork puede ser el mejor aliado para quienes recién están comenzando en el mundo de los negocios, como por ejemplo, emprendedores primerizos que comienzan a ver cómo funciona el rubro, esto porque en este lugar podrán compartir con otros empresarios y aprender de ellos o crear proyectos conjuntos. El trabajo colaborativo siempre traerá beneficios y en un cowork esto sucederá.

Cowork: ayuda mutua

Lo principal que tienes que saber sobre un espacio cowork es que estos lugares se basan en la colaboración entre personas. El desafío del cowork es que se genere un ambiente colaborativo donde los emprendedores se beneficien mutuamente.

Constitucion de sociedades

Además de propiciar la productividad de cada persona que asiste a un cowork, y que generalmente estos lugares están condicionados para el trabajo -teniendo mesas, sillas, salas de reuniones y conexión a internet- la esencia radica en que quienes asistan a un cowork se ayuden.

Es por eso que los coworks son cada vez más populares entre los emprendedores, pues son ellos los que recién están comenzando en el mundo de los negocios y en ese momento todo aporte sumará en su camino al éxito.

Cowork: trabajo en equipo

Saber trabajar en equipo es una de las cualidades más valoradas en el ámbito empresarial, pues con un negocio será necesario compartir funciones y escuchar diferentes puntos de vista que puedan contribuir en tu empresa.

Actualmente existe una forma tangible de trabajar en equipo, esto es, estableciendo como lugar de trabajo, una sala cowork.

En un salón cowork verás reflejado lo que es trabajar en equipo, esto porque será un lugar donde mucha gente estará compartiendo un espacio de trabajo. Un cowork es un lugar que ha sido creado para albergar a diferentes emprendedores durante su jornada laboral, dándoles un espacio con mesas, conexión a internet, baños y lo necesario para poder trabajar.

Entre las ventajas de un cowork está: el ahorro, ya que, como mencionamos anteriormente, compartirás el lugar de trabajo y no tendrás que comprar o arrendar un lugar propio, y también la oportunidad de aprender del resto de los emprendedores que estarán en el cowork.

Cowork y sus dos beneficios más destacados

Hay muchos beneficios que se asocian al trabajo en un cowork, entre ellos los que más destacan son:

-El ahorro de costos. Esto se debe a que un grupo de gente compartirá un lugar donde trabajar, lo cual reduce considerablemente los costos de montar una oficina propia. Sobre esto, actualmente se ha visto que cada vez son más populares los coworks gastronómicos, los cuales también implican ahorro de dinero y funcionan de igual manera que un cowork tradicional, es decir, se comparte el lugar para trabajar.

-Otro beneficio que destaca dentro de un cowork es la sociabilidad o trabajo colaborativo, características emblemas del cowork. Esto se debe a que al compartir un espacio con más personas podrás conocer a más gente, aumentando tu red de contactos, lo que dará origen al trabajo colaborativo, pues con esas personas podrás crear proyectos que los ayudarán a ambos.

Estas son las dos ventajas más destacables del cowork, convéncete y empieza a trabajar en un entorno colaborativo.

Emergency Ventilators – From ideation to manufacturing

This article was written by César Garcia, researcher at La Hora Maker.

Welcome to the second article in this series on ventilators! As we’ve seen last week, ventilators are critical pieces of infrastructure. They must work reliably for long periods of time without missing a beat. Today we will uncover what are the different phases involved in developing one of these devices. Please, note that this process is a simplified one, based on current circumstances. It usually takes much more time to get one ventilator ready to market.

First stage is the ideation phase. In this initial stage, teams need to decide what technology they will use for their design. One of the most common these days is repurposing an AMBU, by operating it mechanically. There are other alternatives although like pneumatical, based on electro valves, etc, and some of the models approved in Spain involve techniques like High Frequency Jet Ventilation– that is a complete departure from the AMBU models!

Given that the device is going to be used by medical personnel, it’s really important to look at the clinically relevant parameters for these devices. The MIT e-Vent team has done a wonderful job documenting these clinical aspects. You can find the key ventilator specifications to consider on their site.

It’s also worth noting that not all ventilators are meant to work the same. Some of them are better tailored for emergencies, while others are designed to support the patient for longer periods. Mechanical ventilators are covered by several ISO norms like 80601-2-12:2020. Several agencies have made the specifications available for free, to help new initiatives to develop ventilators against COVID-19.

Once you know which approach you would like to take, it’s time to start working on your first functional prototype. Most of the designs will require you to get sensors and valves, as well as basic medical supplies. As per the control unit, we would recommend you to take a look at the Arduino boards better suited to the task in this presentation by Dario Pennisi.

Getting your prototype to pump air is the first step. But you need to control the amount of air in a precise way. Too much-pressurized gas could damage the patient lungs while falling short could suffocate them too. There are two approaches to this issue – some ventilators keep track of the volume of air, while others focus on pressure. To test this, you will need a lung simulator – there are plain simple models to really complex ones. UK’s MHRA offers an extensive test suite for Rapid Manufactured Ventilator Systems (RMVS) for this crisis. You can explore the test at Appendix B.

If you are producing ventilators in the UK, this is the main mandatory step right now. In other countries, like Spain, the regulation is a bit more complex – we will focus on those additional steps in the rest of this article.

Once you pass all tests with the simulator, you are required to run clinical tests with animals. As you can imagine, this is not something you can do at your local hackerspace or Fablab. Veterinarians and doctors need to supervise the test, and validate if your device works as expected. Even if you pass some initial tests, you may still need to do more extensive trials. If you plan to produce a non-emergency ventilator, you might be required to repeat tests on pathological animals.

Let’s say you pass all these tests, what is next step? You need to supply your prototype and manuals to an external lab. The goal is to make a third party verify the device specs in a controlled environment. They will test for Electromagnetic compliance, so that the device doesn’t interfere with external ICU equipment, neither is affected by third party emissions.

Once you have your documentation ready, you can submit it for review for the local regulatory agency (AEMPS in Spain, FDA in the USA), to receive final approval! Does this mean that the device is certified? Not really!

Regular certification doesn’t just focus on the device, but also on the manufacturing methods, facilities, quality control, etc. To produce certain equipment, you need to ensure the environmental conditions at the factory, proper hygienic procedures, etc are maintained.

How do you make sure that none of the people assembling or printing is not affected by coronavirus? Most prototypes that have passed all tests have been produced by companies with manufacturing experience. Some projects like Oxygen, offer a maker version and an industrial version, that was manufactured by a car company. In their repository, you can find all documents required to move from prototype to an industrial device!

So, how are these devices going to be deployed? In Spain, they are being used as devices in a clinical trial. Ethical committees in the hospitals would need to approve the trials and set the rules for actual usage. These devices will be used by trained doctors as compassive devices: if no other ventilator is available, they could decide to use them, after getting permission by patients or relatives. These clinical trials would start with a few patients and then scale to larger numbers if required.

In the next episodes, we will explore the stories behind some of these prototypes!

Informations sur les TBI

Publicité SCOOP, actualité des méthodes d’apprentissages technologiques

Coordonnées des éditeurs

Les publicités ont un lien important avec le sujet de l’article. En effet, l’article traite sur différentes méthodes technologiques éducatives. Toutes les publicités présentes sont en rapport avec l’éducation technologique. Par exemple, les TBI, les différentes méthodes d’apprentissages technologiques. Nous pouvons donc affirmé que les publicités sont en rapport avec le sujet du magazine.

Les publicités les plus importantes dans le magazine sont celles sur les TBI et sur les différentes méthodes d’apprentissages. La publicité sur les TBI est située sur les pages 2 et 50. Puis, la publicité sur les différentes méthodes d’apprentissages est située à la page 51.

Nous plaçons chaque publicité entre chacun des dossiers qui présentent un rapport dans son contenu similaire à celui du produit présenté par la publicité. L’espace qu’elle occupe est d’aider le lecteur à prolonger son savoir et cultiver sa curiosité pour qu’il cherche davantage sur le sujet.

Décrivez l’objet

1- Papier glacé

2- 52 pages

3- Il y a un grand nombre de publicités à travers l’article. En général, on pourrait dire qu’il y a une publicité à chaque 5 pages.

4- Vert et bleu, couleurs en rapport avec l’éducation.

5- Rose, bleu, rouge, vert, jaune, mauve, noir, blanc. Bref, beaucoup de couleurs vives qui attirent l’intérêt des enfants.

6- Il n’y a pas de régularité.

Les photographies

Il y a surtout des photos avec des jeunes enfants en rapport avec l’éducation. Des photos sur des appareils technologies qui peuvent nous aider dans notre éducation. Par exemple, des tablettes, des TBI, des iPad. Puis, des effets spéciaux et des montages dans chacune des photos.

Réflexion

A : Ils veulent promouvoir l’utilisation de la technologie dans le domaine de l’éducation. Ils veulent aussi initier les jeunes à des activités éducatives technologiques qui pourront être des talents très lucratifs dans le futur.

B : Plusieurs images et montages avec des couleurs vives. Utilisent des caractères qui attirent l’attention puis ne mettent pas trop de texte redondant, juste des informations brèves.

C : Les enseignants du primaire, les élèves du primaire et leurs parents. On veut atteindre tous ceux qui ont un contact avec l’éducation primaire. Car c’est eux qui pourront avoir un impact sur leur campagne de promotion.

D : Je trouve le magazine très efficace car rien qu’en feuilletant celui-ci, j’ai pu en apprendre beaucoup plus sur leur cause et j’ai même commencé à y porter intérêt. Je connais maintenant différentes façons pour utiliser des applications qui me permettront d’être mieux préparer pour l’école et ainsi améliorer mon éducation et ma compréhension.
