I responded to your comment in anger, when I should have taken consideration in my reply. My sex does not concern you, my gender is female. Replying to myself, since I can’t reply to Dan Posted in clock hacks, Hackaday Columns Tagged build a clock, Clocks for Social Good, education, stem Post navigation Or if you have a laser cutter at your disposal you can make a unique display with just a pair of motors. Here’s a binary clock built with just a few LEDs. If you have an Arduino and some LED strips you can do something like this. Need some inspiration to get going? You can always chat with others about it in the Hacker Channel. Happy hacking, and thanks for helping to dispel fear and teach others about awesome engineering. I’ll be helping a friend of mine learn to solder as part of the build! I plan to repurpose the soldering workshop board I populated last week as the display for my clock. We’ll post a roundup of all these builds next week. If you decide to document it elsewhere just leave a link in the comments below. Post your project on hackaday.io and we’ll add it to the Clocks for Social Good list ( message me with the link). Teach them how to solder, or how to draw a schematic, or just how to open the case on some electronics without fear. Pass this knowledge on to your teammates. Once you start getting into how clocks are built, you’ll be amazed at how accurate dirt-cheap clocks are and how difficult it can be to replicate that accuracy. Grab a friend, relative, or acquaintance and ask them to join you in building a clock from stuff you have on hand in order to promote STEM education.Ĭlocks have long been one of my favorite projects, and like the one shown above, most of my builds didn’t look anything like traditional clocks. Why don’t we all build a clock? I want you to take it one step further: find a non-hacker to partner with on the project. Our friends at NYC Resistor came up with a great idea. We can change that, but we need your help. People just don’t understand that mere mortals can, and do, build electronics. No matter where you fall on the political scale, we can all agree that mistaking a hobby engineering project for a bomb is a problem for education. Expecting some big discounts after the holiday sales tank.We’ve seen a wide range of emotional responses regarding ’s arrest this week for bringing a clock he built to school.
