Call for Makers: Virtually Maker Faire – May 23, 2020


  • alt text

    24 Hours of Presentations, Workshops, Demos, and Exhibits Across All Time Zones

    Across the world, makers have responded to shortages of medical supplies and equipment with agile designs, adaptive distributed manufacturing, and community organizing. Virtually Maker Faire will be a stage to share the projects and learn from the people behind this extraordinary civic response.

    Virtually Maker Faire will take place online through video sessions and an exhibit showcase on Make: Projects

    • How, where and why we do things.
    • Sustainability. Food. Well-being.

    Design & Production

    • The development, rapid prototyping, testing, and deployment of shared * solutions. Specific projects and how they developed.
    • How capacity to produce locally matters to the response.

    Python Method vs function

    Method is called by its name, but it is associated to an object (dependent).
    A method is implicitly passed the object on which it is invoked.
    It may or may not return any data.
    A method can operate on the data (instance variables) that is contained by the corresponding class
    Function is block of code that is also called by its name. (independent)
    The function can have different parameters or may not have any at all. If any data (parameters) are passed, they are passed explicitly.
    It may or may not return any data.
    Function does not deal with Class and its instance concept.

  • @Suhailjr But I think since it's not a plug and plug play system and it will laying on the PCB for the long term, it might be fine. for me, it's similar to the Intel Edison and the PICO-IMX7 System-on-Module

  • @salmanfaris at last they update their design. T
    What you think on the updated connector. I felt like its more fragile and high chance for corottion issue due to humidity for long term use.

    Seeed is currently counting down for the 10 year anniversary of the debut of Grove 🎉. In the past 10 years, we have seen many wonderful projects created by Grove from our user and community. We want to invite you to join us to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Grove 🤩.

    In the Grove 10 Years Celebration, we’d like to collect the stories of “Grove with You”, which we want to invite our users to share their stories they have with Grove products.

    => What project you’ve made out of Grove?
    => What is your favourite Grove?
    => which one was the first Grove you’ve purchased?

    Seeed encourages you to post and share photos, videos, stories of Grove in the Seeeed Forum, or any other platforms below that you’d like to use.

    The following ways to find us, and tag #grove10 to share the project with us!

    Twitter (@seeedstudio) Instagram (@seeedstudio) or simply email your project to grove10@seeed.cc

    Feel free to be creative in documenting your projects–we will be selecting top 10 most “Grovy” winning entries from the submissions, and the winners will receive a $100 Grove Surprise Pack 😋 as a special gift.

    Looking forward to seeing your projects! 🥳
