For this homework we were asked to attend an Atlas Lecture given by Leah Buchely, the inventor of the Sparkfun Lillypad. I found this talk extremely interesting and relevant to the Atlas program and its methods for teaching programming and other technical skills. I found her most compelling argument to be on the importance of engagement in school in order to foster a positive and productive relationship with the fields in STEM. I think she could have better argued the convenience of art to making the fields in Stem engaging, but the point is one I feel is central to my own academic identity.
For this homework I also read How To Use a Breadboard, Electricity the Basics, and What is Electricity.
