New Releases by Ayah Bdeir

littleBits are electronic building blocks with over 60 modules and trillions of combinations. With littleBits, anyone can harness the power of electronics, microcontrollers, and the cloud--regardless of age, gender, technical ability, or educational background. You can combine these simple, snap-together, magnetic bricks to make simple electronic circuits, or build robots and devices that combine sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud connectivity. This book, co-authored by littleBits founder Ayah Bdeir, along with top-selling author Matt Richardson (Getting Started with Raspberry Pi), teaches you just enough electronics to start making things with littleBits and takes you on up through connecting littleBits to the cloud and programming with its Arduino-compatible module.

Adapted from the keynote address by Ayah Bdeir, on The Internet as material, given at the Solid 2014 conference.

Dokumentarfilm, USA, Original mit Untertiteln: Konstruktionsbaukästen wie LEGO-Steine brechen die Bestandteile einer modernen Stadt herunter auf eine Art, die Kinder verstehen und die ihnen Freude bereitet. Aber wie entdecken sie die digitale Welt? Ayah Bdeir wandte ihre Ingenieursausbildung auf diese Problematik an und entwickelte dabei eine neue Art Spielzeug: littleBits. littleBits ermöglichen das Spielen mit Elektronik, Licht, Geräuschen und Sensoren gleich einfachen LEGO-Steinen - sie kombinieren Lernen, Prototypen und Spaß. In dieser Episode von Kreative Einblicke erklärt Ayah Bdeir, wie sie littleBits entwickelt und das Spielzeug zu einem vollwertigen Unternehmen aufgebaut hat.

(Cont.) Undetectable, wearable pressure sensors, implemented with Quantum Tunneling Composites (QTC), are distributed across the undergarment in order to monitor and record inappropriate or unjustified searches. By allowing the traveler to log and share the experience s/he is going through, the 'smart' body suit attempts to quantify the search using a common platform and standardized measurements. The digital record is repeatable and legible enough to be used as evidence to hold security officials accountable for their actions. random search is a personal, voluntary technology that does not impose a course of action on the wearer, but rather offers him/her a record to analyze, incriminate, share, perform, or simply keep.
