Editor's Notes
- Today, I will share with you some of my cool projects!
- What does STEM stand for? By raising of hands, How many of you think that STEM is cool?
- offers a chance for students to make sense of the world rather than learn isolated bits and pieces of phenomena
- I use multiple computers daily for around 12 hours. Then I started to feel some back and shoulder pain, because I was not sitting right.
- An efficient small device that warns the computer users if they are leaning too close towards the computer screen, by measuring the distance between the user and computer monitor in order to indicate if the user is leaning too close towards the computer monitor.
- Where did I get these cool stuff from?
- Maker Faire is an event created by Make magazine to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset".
- So, when I’m not using the computer during the day, I love to go cycling!
- In order for me to enjoy cycling, I gotta avoid problems. That’s why when I ride my bike I always wear a helmet and use hand signals.
- A bicycle helmet with an adaptive light system. It has turn signal lights, side lights, back light, and front flash light. These lights are activated using hand signals. So, all the cyclist needs to do is to carry out the appropriate hand signal to activate the corresponding turn signal. The straight ahead signal is activated once the cycling process starts using sensors on the bike. Same goes for the slow down signal.
- How many of you has a mobile phone? ipod? ipad? Connected to the internet most of the time, so we can like this on Facebook.
- So, we can like this on Facebook. Tweet that on twitter. Check in on Foursquare. Post a selfie on Instagram. All that contribute to the creation of Big Data!
- Big data visualization conveys information much faster than tables containing numbers and text. Therefore, this poster presents an efficient method for big data visualization on top of Google BigQuery. Google BigQuery is a cloud-based interactive query service for massive datasets built on Dremel. In this project, we used 'natality' dataset that has United States birth data from 1969 to 2008 saved in 137 million rows. For the implementation of dashboard application, we employ Google App Engine using Python and Google Charts with JavaScript.
- Because I studied STEM, I had a chance to work in one of the biggest companies in the world. Therefore, I would finally love to tell you…
