DESCRIPTION:*Science Makers is a monthly event to discuss and build low-co
 st\, DIY and open hardware for science and education. All are welcome for 
 the talks\, making or both! *\n\nDuring previous Science Makers we've made
  and tested sensors and sensing devices - what to do with the data though?
  This session will dive into building apps to host your data on the web an
 d talk to Arduino boards from your own interface - the use case will be ve
 nus flytrap signals measured using the SpikerBox boards we've constructed 
 previously combined with a motor box for micromanipulation.\n\n*Learning:*
 \n\nLearn how to:\n\n• Talk to Arduinos from an interface\n\n• Plot da
 ta in real time the data input\n\n• Store and publish your data stream t
 o a remote server\n\nWe'll be using: \n\n"johnny-five":http://johnny-five.
 io/\, "polymer":https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/\, "electron":https://
 electron.atom.io/. \n\n\n*Doing:*\n\nWe have two great projects lined up f
 or the afternoon:\n\n• Building an app from scratch for plotting and log
 ging sensor data \n\n• Make use of micromanipulator motor boxes to measu
 re Venus flytraps signals using both the app and the robot\n\nAfter this s
 ession you'll be able to do the same thing with pretty much any sensor so 
 feel free to bring your own to the meeting and let us know what science-y 
 (or other) purposes you might use this for - from monitoring the temperatu
 re of your (lab) fridge to checking how your experiment is going from home
 .\n\n\n*Timings*\n\n12:00 - Arrival and introductions\n\n12:15 - Talks and
  discussion\n\n13:30 - Pizza \n\n14:00 - Making!\n\nWe usually wrap up aro
 und 16:00-17:00 but you are welcome to leave at any time and often a group
  stays later.\n\n\nScience Makers is designed for adults and includes tech
 nical talks\, but we welcome accompanied younger people too - just contact
  Jenny on jcm80@cam.ac.uk.\n\nFor more information and to RSVP\, please "c
