🦖 Webcam Powered Dino Alert Electronics Project (CHM)

Tue, Apr 21, 2:00 AM

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

From The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group

In this fun, beginner-friendly project, you’ll build a system that uses your laptop’s webcam to detect motion and trigger a hilarious **“Dino Alert!”** on screen. When movement is detected, a T-Rex appears, opens its mouth, waves its tiny arms, and warns everyone nearby with a roar. No prior experience is required. By the end, you’ll have a working Dino Alert system—and a solid foundation for building more advanced projects that combine software and electronics. **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

The Happy Little Arduino Spin Machine (CHM)

Tue, Apr 28, 2:00 AM

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

From Bay Area Chatbot, Voice Assistants, and Conversational AI

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll build your own **motor-powered spin art machine** using an Arduino—no experience required. At the heart of it all is a **DC motor**—your tiny but powerful artist. You’ll wire it up, control its speed, and watch as simple code transforms motion into mesmerizing patterns. Turn a knob, tweak the speed, and see how different rotations create completely unique designs. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about **controlled chaos**. A drop of paint, a burst of speed, and suddenly you’ve got something surprisingly beautiful. By the end, you’ll: * Understand the basics of controlling a motor with Arduino * Adjust speed in real time to shape your art * Create your own one-of-a-kind spin paintings * Walk away thinking, *“Okay… I can actually do electronics.”* Expect a little mess, a lot of laughs, and a machine that turns code into creativity. **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

What is Uniquely Human In The Age Of AI?

Wed, Apr 22, 12:30 AM

4.5

ZOOM event. The link will be sent on the day of the event. Please sign-in into your zoom account while joining the meeting for extra layer of authentication. =================================================== Artificial intelligence is getting remarkably good at things that once defined expert work. It can analyze enormous amounts of data, generate thoughtful drafts, surface patterns, and even propose solutions that might have taken teams weeks to uncover. So, a natural question is emerging inside organizations everywhere. ***If AI can do so much of the analytical and generative work, what remains uniquely human?*** In this interactive session, leadership advisor and coach Paul Barrett explores the capabilities that still sit firmly in human hands. Drawing on insights from thinkers like Daniel Kahneman, Oscar Trimboli, Amy Edmondson, Marshall Goldsmith, and Brené Brown, participants will explore four deeply human leadership capacities that become even more important in an AI assisted world: meaning, judgment, trust, and care. Through stories, reflection, and conversation, this session examines how leaders: \- make sense of information beyond the data\, \- take responsibility for difficult decisions\, \- respond to tension in ways that build trust\, \- create environments where people feel safe Because the future of leadership may not be about competing with intelligent machines. It may be about remembering what only humans can do. And why, even in the age of AI, at the core of it is still people. **Speaker BIO:** [Paul Barrett](www.linkedin.com/in/paul-barrett-icf-pcc) is a leadership advisor, executive coach, and founder of *Everyday Wiser*, and leads a weekly learning series that explores the human side of leadership through practical reflection and conversation. With more than thirty years of experience across leadership, coaching, and organizational transformation, he works with leaders and teams to navigate complexity, strengthen collaboration, and make better decisions under pressure. His work centers on a simple belief that guides much of his writing and speaking: at the core of it is people. [EverydayWiser.com](https://www.everydaywiser.com/)
