ENAMELING COURSE

Tara Fadenrecht, Technical Instructor

Enrollment: ENROLLMENT CLOSED: CLASS FULL
Sign-up by 01/02
Limited to 6 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: None

Enameling is the process of fusing powdered glass to copper, steel or silver resulting in a glossy, colorful finish.  Students in this class will gain a clear understanding on how to work with glass on metal through the exploration of enameling techniques such as stenciling, sgraffito, cloisonné, and champlevé. We will work with both flat and formed pieces to create jewelry and sculptural objects. Previous metal work experience is beneficial, however the only prerequisite is fearlessness to experiment.

How would Harry Potter teach evaporation? Can Minecraft make multiplication fun?  Explore these questions in this one-hour workshop about using general story structure and pop culture to engage children in STEM education. Develop ways to discover students’ interests, and foster techniques to utilize these interests to engage students. In small groups, participants will practice personalizing a generic lesson plan using some common student interests.

Hands-on Introduction to Atomistic Simulations

Alexander Urban, Postdoctoral Associate (DMSE)

Enrollment: Limited: First come, first served (no advance sign-up)
Limited to 30 participants
Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: Participants are required to bring their own laptop computer

With ever increasing computational power at hand, today previously hard-to-study atomic-scale phenomena can be directly simulated based on the laws of physics.  Examples range from fundamental physics (e.g., electronic structure of graphene) over computational chemistry (e.g., reaction mechanisms) to predictive materials design (e.g., performance of battery materials).  This course will introduce students without any previous experience to the exciting field of atomistic simulations.  The course will encompass (i) a general introduction to the subject and to Linux-based computations, (ii) classes covering basic electronic structure theory, common approximate methods such as density-functional theory, and simulation techniques, and (iii) hands-on sessions during which students themselves will perform simulations.  All hands-on tutorials will be based on state-of-the-art open-source software, so that examples are reproducible and relevant.  No previous expertise will be required to follow the material and hands-on sessions.  We especially encourage participation of interested students with background in experimental research areas.

How Different Software Languages & Libraries Affect Your Creative Process

W. Craig Carter, Professor of Materials Science

Add to Calendar Jan/15 Thu 06:00PM-08:00PM 4-270

Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/14
Limited to 115 participants
Prereq: None

What is the nature of creativity? What does a creative process in code look like? Just as an artist’s choice between physical mediums, like charcoal and oil paint, influences their final work, so does their choice between differing software systems. Through case studies and live experimentation, we will compare how our process changes depending on the design of particular pieces of software. We will look at Processing, Openframeworks, Nodebox, and others. We will learn how to assess and choose between different software systems when approaching a new creative project. Come explore how the design of programming languages & frameworks influences outcomes, both through conscious effort and happy accidents.

Andrew Ringler is a professional software developer and artist. He brings together performance, comedy, filmmaking, 2D arts, and code to create engaging experiences. Andrew holds a Bachelor of Computer Science from McGill University and is now an MFA candidate at the Dynamic Media Institute of MassArt.
