I gotta question: Is this a Science Fair or Introduction to Programming When I signed up for the MW event, it sounded more like a science fair than an educational event. Is that correct?
I ask because I thought we'd basically show kids how programming works by guiding them through a few simple programs. You know, a "name tag" (basically hello-world but with someone's name), and so on. OTOH the event description seemed to be more "Here's a wowy project!" -- Owen On Sat, Feb 23, 2019 at 1:50 PM Edward Angel <an...@cs.unm.edu> wrote: > The microcontroller event at Meow Wolf is less than two weeks away on > March 8.
