We’re about to head down the hill and I wanted to send a note to let everyone know that we’re still having a meeting today.

We’re going to build a binary county and focus on how we’re addressing these ports with bitwise operators.

If we can get to it, we’ll build the alarm detection system.

These labs help us understand how the MSP432 ports are addressed and prep us for adding motors and sensors.

If you’re planning to stay home today, please try to spend some time in the curriculum to answer questions and learn more lessons in both the C and Embedded systems curriculum.

You can also add these video lessons to help augment the NATCAR curriculum.

What a great day at Nor Cal Robo Expo! Thanks to everyone for stopping by and seeing what we're up to!

This event will be an annual event. We'll be working with our club project members to prepare for events next year. Challenges that will be available are:

More information available at NorCal Robotics Expo.

I was very excited to talk with the UC Davis team that is inviting High School kids to participate in what has previously been a collegiate sport - NATCAR.

They have created structured curriculum and are providing advisors to help teams through the curriculum which culimates in the NATCAR competition at UC Davis!

For more information, see their website and let us know if you're interested.  Teams are forming NOW!
