CURIE Academy 2021: Computing at the Edge

Mon	Jul 19	12:45pm – 3:45pm	Lab #1: Computer Engineering – Hardware Perspective Scholars learned about computer engineering from the hardware perspective by assembling basic logic gates to implement a simple "calculator" for adding small binary numbers.
		7:30pm – 8:30pm	Optional Lab/Office Hours TAs: Sabrina Herman, Guadalupe Bernal, Tito Marseca
Tue	Jul 20	12:45pm – 3:45pm	Lab #2: Computer Engineering – Software Perspective Scholars learned about computer engineering from the software perspective by incrementally programming a microcontroller in C++ to implement an IoT "smart light" system.
		7:30pm – 8:30pm	Optional Lab/Office Hours TAs: Nick Cebry, Sabrina Herman, Guadalupe Bernal, Neha Malepati
Wed	Jul 21	12:45pm – 3:45pm	Design IoT System for Project Scholars worked in groups of three to begin designing an IoT system inspired by a real-world application of IoT. Scholars experimented with input and output modules that are appropriate for their system.
		7:30pm – 8:30pm	Optional Lab/Office Hours TAs: Nick Cebry, Sheryas Patil, Ruyu Yan, Neha Malepati
Thu	Jul 22	12:45pm – 3:45pm	Design, Implement, and Test IoT System Scholars finished designing their IoT system before using an incremental design process to implement their IoT system with a mix of software and hardware. Scholars then tested their system to ensure proper functionality.
		7:30pm – 8:30pm	Optional Lab/Office Hours TAs: Shreyas Patil, Ruyu Yan, Tito Marseca
Fri	Jul 23	12:45pm – 3:45pm	Test IoT System, Prepare Demonstration/Presentation Scholars finished testing their IoT system, before preparing a presentation describing the broad motivation for their IoT system, a real-world example of an embedded system or IoT device similar in spirit to their project; and their specific design.
		6:30pm – 7:30pm	Design Project Presentations
