SUMMARY:Fail Night 7: Better Luck Next Time - Grant Writing Fails and Possibilities
DESCRIPTION:Join the 10C community for our 7th annual Fail Night – a fun and inspiring night where we share and laugh at our missteps\, shake them off and find success in a community dialogue about failing.  \nThis year’s theme is ‘Better Luck Next Time – Grant Writing Fails and Possibilities’ where our panelists will be asked questions about their experience stumbling through the grant writing process\, sharing their insights\, and connecting further to enhance our own grant writing and collaborative grant writing skills. Working towards future and shared successes.  \nAs always\, the panel discussion will be followed by an ‘open mic’ about grant failure and new possibilities for collaborations. \n\nOur Panelists: \nScott McGovern \nScott McGovern is a curator\, artist\, video maker\, and educator.

SUMMARY:Electronics for Artists\, Designers & Makers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This beginner-friendly\, in-person workshop will introduce you to the process of combining electronic inputs and outputs. Using an Arduino microcontroller board and user-friendly software\, we will copy and paste code from the internet to send to the Arduino\, creating functionality with the components we connect through simple circuits. \nThe hands-on workshop will begin with a quick overview of the Arduino and the various components in your take-home kit\, as well as installing the free open-source software that allows us to send instructions to the Arduino. We will then proceed to try a few examples as a group to get comfortable with the workflow\, followed by more individual explorations based on your unique interests. \nBy the end of the three hour workshop you will be able to connect simple components together (buttons\, LEDs etc)\, as well as know how to search online for basic wiring instructions and example code others have prepared. This is a low voltage (safe) and easy workshop that will pose few barriers for anyone comfortable using a computer and a search engine. No prior experience necessary! \nRegister through the following link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/electronics-for-artists-designers-makers-workshop-tickets-201813568817 \nSpace is limited\, masks are mandatory\, must be double-vaccinated and social distancing will be maintained and all participants must adhere to our COVID-19 policy: https://www.edvideo.org/about/staff-contact/covid-policy.
