In this 90-minute class you will get hands-on practice in capturing video of your home studio practice on your cell-phone. We have found sharing images improves the online class experience for everyone when class attendees can find and use these functions of their smart-phones. For teachers to be able to really coach your technique in online classes, they must be able to see your practice. Learn easy ways to transfer a photo or video to a laptop or desk top computer (Apple or PC) for sharing in the Zoom classroom. How-to work this digital magic will be demonstrated and practiced in this class.
Must own a Smartphone with a camera app and have a laptop or desk top computer.
We are also offering Practicing with Zoom Screen Share (Online) on Thursday, May 27th. To read more and register, please click here.

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 once BARN has moved into Kitsap County's phase 3 where a studio monitor or other member can help you.
Full STEAM ahead! In this class, we will be combining art and technology to make one-of-a-kind robots out of common materials like cardboard, paint, and paper and bringing them to life through coding, motors, lights, and a variety of components.
The class will begin by introducing the robotics kits we will be using: Micro:bit and the HummingbirdBit. We will explore the different components, how to use them and code them using block-coding applications like MakeCode and Snap. Then we’ll learn different cardboard building techniques and mechanisms that can be used for our creations. Students will then choose a theme (e.g. desert animals) and brainstorm, plan, draw, paint, and build their project around that theme. Creativity is encouraged!
This is an introductory class. No prior coding or building experience is necessary. To keep the costs of the class down, robotics kits will be provided for use during the class time and will be returned to the instructor at the end of the week. Families will be invited for a socially-distanced sharing time from 3:30 - 4pm on the final day of the class to view and take photos of student creations.
We recommend students bring their own devices, whether a laptop (PC or Mac), Chromebook, iPad or iPhone. If they don’t have one, we will have a limited number available to borrow during class. Upon registration, please select 'Using BARN Computer' or 'Bringing Device From Home'.
