William Kim Internship Review

July 28th, 2015 § 0 comments § permalink

SMIC Private School, as a XinCheJian intern to our space for over 100 hours between July 15th and July 27th 2015 at our Hero Center location (Jing’an, Shanghai). XinCheJian is a community space focused on technology that provides its members with a space to work on their project, Internet access, tools and components in an atmosphere focused on making. As the space sees heavy use daily by members, it’s essential for us to have people in charge of the space to help and interns are very appreciated in that role. In school, William had already shown great leadership being president of both the computer sciences and the sciences club. He’s planning on pursuing studies in Computer Sciences or Electronic Engineering abroad so was looking for a volunteer internship relevant to his interests. To that end, he already acquired skills in programming and Arduino microcontrollers which are very useful within an Hackerspace. William first took on the space as a project in itself, completing over 50 different individual tasks. Increasing entropy is a natural state of things, especially in an hackerspace that sees many projects and many contributions. Regular cleaning and sorting is required to get the handle on the chaos. First set of tasks he took on covered a massive and much needed cleaning and installing of new shelves to allow better sorting of the electronics components that followed. Another good organization innovation was the labeling of the rental storage boxes to track usage. Another significant tasks was around XinCheJian computers: from testing the donated computers to making sure that as many of them were functional with Internet access. In addition, he’s taken the initiative in promoting the space through videos and welcoming personally members to the space, introducing them to the hackerspace. He signed up 7 new members to the space. He also supported the Arduino workshops organized by Yu, another intern. William’s contributions, completing his Objectives and Key Results set at the start at 100%, have made the space more efficient and a better working space for all makers. William’s work ethics, knowledge and initiative were impressive and all the senior members that have worked with him believe he has a bright future ahead of him.]]>

Smart Pet Collar Project STARTUP!

Smart Pet Collar Project Startup 王可可带上iwatch 宠物智能可穿戴设备项目启动介绍 你有骄傲地秀过你家萌宠的照片吗?小东西面色不好,你也担心过它是否生病,却手足无措,心如刀割么?甚至想起别家小狗被拐卖的新闻时,害怕自己疏忽而从冷汗中惊醒吗?你本该与它时刻尽享轻松乐趣,现实中你却总难放下心来…… 但现在,是时候让我的努力,解决你的困扰啦! 可穿戴式设备发展至今,我们已经在眼镜、手环、甚至鞋子上无所不用其极。某位土豪将智能手表戴上了汪星人的爪子,但测出的心率却低于普通狗的3倍!的确,可爱的宠物们需要专为它们定制的智能产品。 剩下的七月和八月里,我计划打造一款具有初步功能的智能项圈样机。下周,我将尝试熟悉Lua与安卓的编程、简单通信,以及通过Arduino了解加速度传感器的使用。届时将欢迎各路大神的指点,也在这里提前感谢你们。 暑假里,我将参加八月初的“黑科松”,在八月中下旬完成样机的制作,并进行项目的成果展示。样机将能够实现传感器数据采集、在wifi条件下的数据传输、以及与手机App的联通。这款样机也将成为宠物智能可穿戴设备的开发平台,为未来功能更完善的产品奠定基础。 同时,在今年年末的时候,一款具备追踪定位、健康监测、游戏娱乐、以及更多意想不到功能的成熟产品将依据规划进入试产,并在2016年实现技术的商业价值。 此外,作为一名有爱心的年轻人,我也非常希望在创造科技的同时,履行更多的社会责任。在产品发售后,我将把产品免费提供给上海正在使用的27条导盲犬(1条在三天前走失),本装置将极大地提升人与犬的安全性,保护珍贵的导盲犬资源,更让残疾人和他们的家庭更放心。 ]]>

Labels on the storage boxes!

July 18th, 2015 § 1 comment § permalink

8514261271539776165 The new label includes, name, email, phone, today’s date and expiry date. With these information, it is now easier to identify the information about the user. The new label is attached to each boxes, so if you own a storage box , please go fill in the labels up ASAP. If you want more label papers, they are available on the top of the fridge.    ]]>

bold, bring in your own ideas and don’t wait for others to tell you what to do – in the end it’s all about making your own project.]]>

Hackerspace Cleanup

July 16th, 2015 § 1 comment § permalink

Increasing entropy is a natural state of things, especially in an hackerspace that sees many projects and many contributions. Regular cleaning and sorting is required to get the handle on the chaos.

熵的增加是自然规律之一。因为新车间有着许许多多的工程项目,所以这规律也能在这儿发现 。为了避免这样的混乱,整理肯定是必须的。

We’ve collected equipment, parts, components, used equipment without owners into an outgoing pile in the space . If you wish to take ownership of something from that pile for projects purpose, you must either:

我们收集了各种各样的装备,零件,没有主任的设备等等,把它们放在了我们的小空间中。如果您想要拿取那些东西的话:

take ownership and label it (name,  project, contact info, expiry date) and store it in your storage box (storage box are 30RMB/month)

个人要收藏并且标上姓名,工程,联系信息,终止日期。还要把它放在您的收藏箱子里。(每个收藏箱需30元/月)

OR, for shared stuff: put it on the proper shelve or box that has a category label

或者,如果是与大家分享的:请您把它放在有标签的架子上或箱子里。

Work surfaces and space under the tables are NOT storage areas.

干活的桌上和卓下不是收藏的地方。

Anything left on the tables, under the tables, without labels or not properly organized will be added to the outgoing pile.

桌上和卓下留着的东西如果没有标签的话将会被堆在那小空间中。

Wednesday July 22nd 7pm is the deadline before we start donating to the outside from the pile.

七月22号晚上7点钟(星期三), 我们将会开始捐赠小空间里面的零件和无主人的项目。
