Literally.. Mona was fixing the last code bugs at 2:45 just as they had to move the device over to the Davis center.\u00a0 The device reads the position of both your hands and uses that to modulate the position of lights.. that represent the lights in ECHO&#8217;s ceiling.\u00a0\u00a0 When you balance the positions just right, the bubbles stop for a bit and you&#8217;re rewarded with a cool light pattern. Simple and elegant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8676.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8723.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>folks seemed to enjoy the piece..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8721.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Family came by including Mona&#8217;s mom<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8716.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8724.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>and Samir&#8217;s\u00a0 folks<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8726.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It really looked nice, and the team was proud.. and I was proud of all they&#8217;d done and learned.\u00a0\u00a0 I was also pleased and proud to see all the other awesome projects folks had built<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8702.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>this is a wind powered streetlight<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8701.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>an autonomos quad copter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8709.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>a new frame for Aero<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8704.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A powerful robot<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8711.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>a snowboard flex tester<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/johncohn.org\/base\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_8718.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It wsa great to see the energy and fun in the room.. i really, really enjoyed it..
