Aaron Vanderwerff Named “Inspirational Teacher of the Year”
Oakland's Lighthouse Community Charter School is turning out some great young makers. If you attended Maker Faire this past week you might have run into Lighthouse students displaying a solar-powered scooter. (It started out as a go kart, but someone stole the chassis) and an EV truck project. The school's teachers are no slouches either. This week one of the students' instructors, Aaron Vanderwerff, was named "inspirational teacher of the year"
Sign up now for Maker Training Camps
Today, we offer you a new way of learning: Maker Training Camps. Training Camps are collaborative online courses specifically designed to make it easier to learn a new skill or build a specific project. Camps use Google hangouts and communities to make it easy to work with other students and teachers. Camps are generally between one and five weeks in length with a lecture, a project and optional office hours each week.
Controlling LEDs with Charlieplexing
MAKE contributor Andy has created a great tutorial to introduce you to the utility of "Charlieplexing," a method for controlling multiple LEDs without the use of multiple microcontroller pins. With charlieplexing you can turn on or off one LED at a time. To light more than one LED at a time, you can scan the LEDs by turning a sequence of them on and off really fast.
New Project: DIY 3D Laser Scanner Using Arduino
The principle behind this scanner is the typical of a line scanner. A laser beam intercepts the object to be measured and a camera, positioned at a known angle and distance shoots a series of images. With some trigonometry considerations and optic laws it is relatively easy to reconstruct the Zeta dimension, the measurement of the distance between the object and the camera.

Behold the Secret Canadian Treehouse
This took me to so many places, emotionally, that I don't think I can talk about it right now ("talk" –> type alone), but here's where you can help them save their precious little ball house.
And here's where you can try to find and raze it. Just kidding. Oh just kidding.

Apr. 11, 2012
Japanese beer maker Kirin has created a solution to the ever-frustrating warm beer. The company’s new frozen foam topping, Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft, acts as an insulating lid and keeps the drink cold for 30 minutes. The foam is made by cooling the beer to 23 degrees Fahrenheit, while a machine continuously blows air into the mixture. The frothy, creamy result doesn’t water down the beer when it finally melts, and the beverage also is creamier (immaterial, really, as it shouldn’t take anyone 30 minutes to drink a beer).Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft is currently available in Tokyo and will launch throughout Japan in May.
