Learning 3D Printing...

Brief history of 3D printing, information about the current state of the technology, features of the printers, information about pertinent software and Web resources, information about where to get premade 3D files, guided instruction on how to prepare 3D image files using Cura software, and instruction on 3D printer use.

Cura software can be found here: https://www.lulzbot.com/cura#download.
Autodesk Inventor, a CAD program can be found here: https://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/inventor-professional.

Thank you Joe and the Think Tank team for this wonderful workshop.





Students are Flying Drones in Ponta Verde, Fogo, Cabo Verde

Pedro Verona Pires High School students in the Island of Fogo, Cabo Verde, are conducting experiments for the "Occupy Mars Learning Adventures" action-based research program.

Students will use drones to gather data from Chã das Caldeiras and from the active volcano close to their School.

This project in an international collaboration with The Barboza Space Center in California.

Help to spread and support this initiative.

Meeting with Brockton Mayor - Bill Carpenter

This is how Bob Barboza (California) and Angelo Barbosa (Massachusetts) are working together to create a STEM ++ collaboration project between USA and Cabo Verde since 2009.
August 2018 Meeting with Mayor of Brockton - Bill Carpenter
Discussion on how we can create a collaboration initiative to connect Brockton Schools students to the Cape Verde Tenth Island, Barboza Space Center and The Occupy Mars Learning Adventures program, with other students in America, in Cape Verde and around the world.
Dr. Julio Carvalho facilitated for this great opportunity to happen.



WHAT NEW TOOLS ARE BEING USED IN THE USA FOR THE OCCUPY MARS LEARNING ADVENTURE PROJECT?

We are working hard to find the right tools to use in our space science programs in the USA. We are working on simulation project based on our information about Mars. Our students are spending the summer learning how to become astronauts, scientists and engineers. You can find more information about our new robot showcase projects by visiting our new website:

Finatas Forever!!!

Finata 5

Tenba un kétu Ília y selvajis montis y séra
kastanhu kor dun signo markadu na txon
desdi dia ki é rabenta di fundu di natureza
ki ningen di mundu nem tenpu ka da bason
saidu bendu atxadu y dizinbarkadu na téra
ka tinha podu fikadu fika Ómi d´otus nason
y povuadu ku scravu ranjadu na kosta baxu
ki na rota di mundu negosiadu katxu-katxu

Finata 6

Kel ora primeru di momentu konsagradu
trémulu falanti strobadu soletra na pidjin
simenti nativu d´un língua staba simiadu
na alma skravu-l téra y na tenpu sem fin
limentadu na rota negru di tudu tratadu
ki na segredu tangomanu netus y fidjus
ridimidu mastiga ladiadu na txon fekundu
nas Ílias na Afrika y n´otu banda-l mundu

Cabo Verde também perde Judge George N. Leighton

A bandeira nacional devia honrar o Legendary Chicago jurist George N. Leighton.
What a journey!
“He will go down as one of this nation’s greatest civil rights lawyers,” Neal said. “Not just in advancement of racial equality, but fighting for everyone to ensure the Constitution protected all individuals.”

THE BARBOZA SPACE CENTER’S ROBOTICS SHOWCASE COMES TO SOCAL THIS SUMMER

Cape Verdean in the news and leading the way in robotics in Southern, California.

By Kristina Allison

Looking for something to do with the kids this summer, or maybe something super cool just for you? Why not check out some robots? Bob Barboza, a long time CUE member, has put together an impressive line up and his showcase is coming to Long Beach and Los Angeles, California this summer, free of charge!

Barboza, who has has recently been honored as this years recipient of the 2018 Gohardani Presentation Award in Aeronautics and Astronautics, a certificate and award sponsored by the Springs of Dreams Corporation and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, works with high school students participating in the Occupy Mars Learning Adventures Fellowship Program. His students are currently designing and prototyping robots, satellites, Mars science labs and Martian habits. Barboza is hoping to share with educators by bringing the Mars Robotic Showcases to Los Angeles and Long…

Africa Day

"How good and how pleasant it would be, before God and man, yea-eah! To see the unification of all Africans, yeah!"

PR in Action?

"E este dia dedicado à língua portuguesa, deverá servir para nós todos,  instituições públicas, políticos, profissionais do ensino, jornalistas e cidadãos de uma forma geral, reflectirmos sobre um assunto que, a meu ver, não tem sido alvo da melhor atenção.

Como disse, é cada vez mais notória a falta de rigor e domínio da língua portuguesa, quer em privado quer nos espaços públicos, sobretudo por parte de profissionais a quem caberia esse papel.

Na oralidade e na escrita, nas escolas e nos rodapés dos telejornais, nos políticos, governantes, assessores e conselheiros de toda a espécie, nos professores e nos candidatos a escritores ou a jornalistas, nos filósofos e ditos analistas e comentadores, o estado da língua portuguesa consubstancia um nível que, a pretendermos hiperbolizar ou a tomarmos a veste de um poeta em tempo de vigília criativa, diríamos consubstanciar uma calamidade ou um verdadeiro perigo para o mundo, tal como uma epidemia ou um tufão."

AWSome Boston Day - 2018

Great opportunity to be in this free, one-day training to provide a step-by-step introduction to the core AWS services for compute, storage, database, and networking.

Germano - Prémio Camões 2018

Parabéns Germano!
Cabo Verde devia aproveitar mais este prémio Camões para lançar o que podia ser a revolução linguística ou tolerância zero para crimes linguísticos. Quem daria a pedrada?

Innovation

What is (this) Social Media?

"Ahora, los nuevos medios de comunicación practican una modalidad mucho más insidiosa de mercantilización.En ella, el objetivo no es directamente la atención de los consumidores, sino la explotación económica del perfil privado de los usuarios. Se roban los datos de los clientes sin su conocimiento para poder manipularlos mejor, a veces incluso con fines políticos perversos, como acabamos de saber a través del escándalo de Facebook."

"Lo que me irrita es el hecho de que se trata de la primera revolución de los medios en la historia de la humanidad que sirve ante todo a fines económicos, y no culturales."
