Register your child for Kid's Day, here!
The Linux Foundation is pleased to present our annual Kids Day at Open Source Summit North America 2017!
Using the popular open-source kids’ programming language Scratch, LA Makerspace, a local nonprofit that brings coding education to communities in need, will lead a fun and interactive activity with a web component so that off-site children can also participate.
The project will introduce kids to the concept of “open source,” and how they can collaboratively code with others using a blocks-based programming language.
Kids will work together on laptops to create a collaborative multiplayer game where their avatars can interact, controlled by vision sensing. They will also use MaKey MaKeys to incorporate “in real life” components of the environment—such as a ball pit—to trigger events in the game. Kids from everywhere will be able to participate in building and playing the game via the Internet.
Once the project is completed on the day of the event, it will be available via Scratch’s platform, permanently, for kids to continue working together on future development.
LA Makerspace designed the activity in collaboration with members of the Scratch Foundation, who are dedicated to expanding creative learning opportunities with Scratch for children around the world.
Who can attend?
This workshop is appropriate for children ages 7-16 and is open to all children, including those of OSSNA attendees.
Cost?
Registration is complimentary, however, we do encourage you to make a donation to LA Makerspace. Please complete this registration form for your child to attend.
Needs?
Maker-style education is dedicated to the idea that we learn best by creative doing. Bring a great attitude and an open mind! Laptops and light refreshments will be provided.
Don't miss Microsoft's Technologist Q&A in Booth 203 from 4:30pm - 5:30pm.
Can't make it at that time? They will also have another Q&A on Tuesday, from 6:00pm - 7:00pm.
Just like in “Batteries Not Included," magical new hardware often drops in when you least expect it - zooming in and changing the game like some friendly alien life form. But that tech is years (and billions of dollars) in development, and getting the software stack to embrace new architectures and hardware is notoriously difficult. The fast pace of today’s open source world, combined with further abstraction from the hardware, seems to make that even harder.
With new data center-class chips bubbling up from the giant Arm ecosystem, Google creating things like the Tensor Processing Unit and Titan, and acronyms like GPU, FPGA, and SoC filling the air, we ask: is hardware the next innovation layer? Should the software world care more about it?
Hardware geeks! Software geeks! Come one come all! While you munch on pancakes and check out a table full of cool gear from OSS vendors, Alex Williams will ask panelists from Red Hat, Microsoft, Comcast, Packet and IDC what’s the scoop.
Please note that this event can only accommodate 100 attendees. Please arrive early to secure your seat.
