Artemis 2024

Plan: Conduct activity for 18 students in EPIC on July 29 (all day) and July 30 (morning). They will work in teams, so there will be 9 poster projects.

EPIC can supply 8 soldering stations, 4 student assistants (trained in soldering) and all other soldering-related supplies (solder, wire strippers, cutters etc)

Let's use Arduino Uno as before. There are enough in the box from last year.

• ​Slides for 2024

Shopping List

• 500 RGB LEDs (Jessie will order from Pololu)
• Wire (20 or 22AWG solid core - 3 colors)
• Long (6 ft or so) USB cables

TO DO list

• Purchase 500 LEDs (Jessie)
• Test out Arduino software on EPIC computers (Eric) -- done but double-check next week
• Document exactly how to save and download sketches on such (Eric)
• Post sample sketches in shared drive in EPIC (Eric)
• Test and reprogram all Arduinos (Eric and/or Artemis staff.) Needs to be done
• Buy new power supplies (Jessie)
