Join us anytime to begin your comprehensive & guided study on how most things work! As a group, we will study together using David Macaulay's book, "The Way Things Work Now," as our to the the topics we will learn, and we will gain a foundational understanding of how most important things work including: The Mechanics of Movement- (Including Inclined Planes, Levers, Wheels & Axles, Gears & Belts, Cams & Cranks, Pulleys, Screws, Rotating Wheels, Springs, Friction & more!) Harnessing the Elements- (Including Floating, Flying, Pressure Power, Exploiting Heat, Nuclear Power) Working with Waves- (Light & Images, Photography, Printing, Sound & Music, Telecommunications & more!) Electricity & Automation- (Electricity, Magnetism, Sensors & Detectors, & more!) The Digital Domain- (Making Bits, Storing Bits, Processing Bits, Sending Bits, Using Bits) This class will require learners to participate frequently in discussions on the topic of the week. Learners will also be encouraged to look for applications of their weekly topic in the world around them. While this will be a guided study group, rather than a traditional class, the teacher will provide the learners with further examples to reiterate what they are learning in their studies. No outside accounts will be needed. Those who will be the right fit for this class are independent learners with good attention spans, enthusiastic participation, and curious minds who want a meeting place to get all of their questions answered. Schedule of classes: Week of Oct 13: Making Bits - Finger Inputs Week of Oct 20: Making Bits - Signal Inputs Week of Oct 27: Making Bits - Digitizing & Game Controllers Week of Nov 3: Storing Bits - Bits & Bytes - Computer Memory Week of Nov 10: Storing Bits - Types of Storage Week of Nov 17: Storing Bits - Tracking and ID Week of Nov 24: Processing Bits - Logic Gates & Microchips Week of Dec 1: Processing Bits - Motherboards & Software Week of Dec 8: Sending Bits - Networks & Internet Week of Dec 15: Sending Bits - World Wide Web & Satellite Navigation Week of Dec 22: Using Bits - Direct & Signal Outputs Week of Dec 29: Using Bits - Virtual Reality & Simulators Week of Jan 5: Using Bits - Robots Week of Jan 12: Using Bits - Computers & Supermarkets Future Week Topics Include: Week TBD: The Inclined Plane Week TBD: Levers Week TBD: The Wheel & Axle Week TBD: Gears & Belts Week TBD: Cams & Cranks Week TBD: Pulleys Week TBD: Screws Week TBD: Rotating Wheels Week TBD: Springs Week TBD: Friction Week TBD: Floating Week TBD: Flying Week TBD: Pressure Power Week TBD: Exploiting Heat Week TBD: Nuclear Power Week TBD: Working With Waves Week TBD: Light & Images Week TBD: Light & Images Week TBD: Photography Week TBD: Printing Week TBD: Sound & Music Week TBD: Sound & Music Week TBD: Telecommunications Week TBD: More Telecommunications Week TBD: Electricity Week TBD: More Electricity Week TBD: Magnetism Week TBD: More Magnetism Week TBD: Sensors & Detectors Week TBD: More Sensors & Detectors (Class topics will cycle & repeat around once per year) If you love STEM & History classes, check out Teacher Tom's other ongoing and one-time classes such as: -Current Events in Space Technology & Rocket Launches -Minecraft Engineering with the Create Mod -Kerbal Space Program (Spaceflight Simulator Challenges To Better Understand Rocket Science) -Astroneer (Colonize Moons and Planets and Engineering Astronauts) -Analog Astronauts & Missions -Women in Space (Historic & Modern Contributions) -Ham Radio 101 -The Science of Fireworks -Historic Antarctic Expeditions & Leadership ...& more!
