Workshop: Digital Data Acquisition and Analysis in the Physics Classroom - Greg Guido
Participants will have a chance to try out various probes and sensors (motion, voltage, force, sound) from Vernier as well as using LoggerPro software to analyze the data as they go from station to station. Each station is geared toward a lab or activity that has been done with Regents or AP/IB physics classes. Handouts with lab instructions as well as a link to electronic copies will be provided.
10:15-10:45

Workshop: An Introduction to Using Arduinos - Greg Guido
If you've heard of Arduinos but don't really know what they are or know what they are but haven't had a chance to test them out, then this is the workshop for you. Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects such as making lights blink, playing music or controlling experimental hardware. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board via a USB cable. Whether you want some ideas for getting NGSS-ready or a fun low-stress activity for your students after AP/IB exams, you'll get a chance to try these kits out for yourself. Come and learn to use a breadboard and hack computer code!
