This class is intended for those with a basic working knowledge of Fusion 360. It is the first in a series of topics we plan to offer that dive a bit deeper than the basics. Parametric Modeling is a powerful paradigm that allows you to modify your model without edits. Examples include changing the length, width, height, thickness, and diameter of model elements or the entire model.
Instructor, Mike Schrempp will show you where to find parameters, how to write equations using them, how to get rid of ones you no longer want, assigning parameters within sketches, functions, and he’ll answer that nagging question: "why is my name/equation still red?" Students will use their new knowledge to make Allen wrench handles. If you like your handle, you may want to visit one of our Virtual Open Studios and ask how you might 3D-print one.

Instructor Bio:
MIke Schrempp is enjoying retirement after spending 39 years in the design and development of computers. He’s done product development, mechanical part design, engineering management, and architected servers used in big data centers at Amazon and Microsoft. Now he enjoys making things -- from wood, plastic, metal, food, and Python code -- and showing others some of the tricks he’s learned along the way.

Join us for a free laser cutter presentation from the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association.
The Inkscape SIG (Special Interest Group) is focused on users of Inkscape for laser cutting and engraving. It is open to anyone interested in kibitzing with other inkscape enthusiasts. Each month may have a specific topic or just a discussion of current interest.
Bring your questions each month and your expertise in Inkscape. This will be a great way to broaden your skills and the skills of the community.
Hosted by Clayton Baber
**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.**
Designed as a user's guide to BARN ETA studio, this free orientation session is highly recommended for all participants. It will cover everything from studio etiquette and policies to an overview of what we have and where stuff is.
You'll get to see the 3D printers, laser cutter, soldering station, hand tools and more. Overall BARN policies as well as studio-specific ones will also be covered.
Participants will also learn about the leadership structure within ETA and about opportunities to participate in helping everything run smoothly. Volunteer jobs range range from serving as studio monitors to helping with studio maintenance.
Get introduced to 3D printing in this one and a half hour session. You'll get to see BARN's printers and gain an understanding of how they work and what they can make. You will see a computer file get readied for printing in a process called "slicing." You'll see the different printers we have and learn about filament, the material 3D printers use to make prints. We'll start a print and you'll see the printer print. 3D printing has many uses, ranging from practical to fun, such as replacement parts, mold-making, medical models used in surgery, prototypes and more. Bring your curiosity and questions. You can continue to use the 3D printers at Open Studio where a studio monitor or other member can help you.
Do you want to learn computer programming, or are you looking for a place to practice and improve your coding skills? We invite you to join our online BARN Coders club on Thursday afternoons! If you’re new to coding, we’ll get you started with the Scratch programming language and support you in your learning process. This class is open to those unfamiliar with coding in Scratch, or those who are familiar with Scratch but want to join in the fun with others.
If you already know how to code, you’re welcome to come and work independently on your own projects, with experienced mentors on hand to answer questions and troubleshoot problems that arise. You’ll also get to learn from your peers and make new friends in the process! Parents, you are welcome to participate alongside your children. We look forward to seeing you and what you create in code!
Here is what you will need to have for the class:
1.) A dependable internet connection.
2.) A computer or tablet able to run Scratch in one of the following browsers:
Desktop Compatible Browsers
Tablet
Note: The onlne version of Scratch is preferred, but you may also use an offline version which is accessible here - requirements are Windows10+, Android 6/0+, macOS 10.13+, and ChromeOS. FAQ about Scratch are found here.
Our Mentors:
Our team of mentors is made up of community members who collectively represent a vast range of experience in computing, engineering, robotics, and working with youth. They are all screened volunteers who are eager to get young people excited about programming!
