SUMMARY:Introduction to Arduino
DESCRIPTION:Microcontrollers are everywhere and are often the unseen heroes of our modern world. From coffee makers to elevators\, and even the television remote control\, microcontrollers can be programmed to fulfill a variety of simple tasks. The Arduino platform makes working with microcontrollers easy\, fun\, and offers a way to get started in electronics. Join us for a workshop where we’ll explore various beginner Arduino projects using components from the Arduino education kits available for use in the makerspace.

SUMMARY:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens
DESCRIPTION:AI IRL: Real Talk for Teens is a four-session discussion series built around real AI headlines. Each session starts with a short news story\, separates fact from myth\, introduces one practical skill to try\, and opens the floor for conversation guided by teens’ questions. \nParticipants build practical\, responsible AI habits: verifying claims and sources\, recognizing bias and misinformation\, writing task-appropriate prompts\, crediting AI assistance when required\, and protecting privacy online. The final session includes a look at AI’s environmental impact\, tying into this year’s Maryland STEM Festival theme of ENERGY. \nEach session stands alone\, so participants can attend any or all and leave with something they can use right away for schoolwork\, early work experiences and resumes\, creative projects\, or daily life. Phones and laptops are welcome\, and snacks are provided. \nEvent runs from 10/22 through 11/12

SUMMARY:Custom Engraved Leatherette Journals
DESCRIPTION:In this beginner-friendly class\, we will utilize our laser engravers to mark a custom design of your own onto a custom leatherette journal! Color variations of the journals are highly limited and will be given out on a first come\, first served basis. If you have previously taken this class at EC50\, please do not register so that someone else may have the opportunity to attend. \nThe longer class time is necessary for this program to give ample time for design alterations and customization.
