Le mouvement "MAKER" envahit vos écoles et vos collèges...? 100 Shares Share Tweet Email 1- Le mouvement MAKER, la culture MAKER Les 30 avril et premier mai 2016 s’est tenue la troisième édition du MAKER FAIRE Paris. C’est le lancement du magazine MAKE à San Francisco en 2005 suivi du premier MAKER FAIRE en 2006 qui a déclenché ce que l’on nomme maintenant le mouvement MAKER. Wikepedia définit cette culture comme « l’apprentissage par la pratique dans un cadre social ». Le MAKERSPACE, l’atelier de fabrication numérique ne se définit pas par ce qu’il contient mais par ce qui en sort : les projets, les expériences, les prototypes, les artéfacts . . . Les écoliers y conçoivent et fabriquent des objets, des systèmes, des programmes pour résoudre des problèmes concrets avec des outils simples et/ou des codes informatiques. Les objets et les outils qui meublent le MAKERSPACE ne sont qu’un moyen pour arriver à une fin – c’est-à-dire la création d’objets et la résolution de problèmes en équipe. Pourquoi réinventer la roue ? 6 – Outils et bricoles les outils

The US government has begun trialling methods to disable and track commercial drones | News | Lifestyle | The Independent The US government is conducting tests into ways to disable and track drones that may infiltrate sensitive sites. Although the research, which is being contributed to by various government agencies and state law enforcement, is in its early stages, there has been at least one field test, according to Reuters. A source told the news agency that late last year, police in New York used a microwave-based system to try to track a commercially available drone in Times Square and send it back to its operator. The test, which previously went unreported, was set back by signal interference from nearby media broadcasts, and apparently involved representatives from the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Defence Department A security scare was prompted in Tokyo after a small drone was found landed on the roof of the Japanese Prime Minister's official residence The most amazing drone pictures
Construct 2 - the HTML5 game I’ve been experimenting with Construct 2 from Scirra the last few days. Construct 2 is a program from creating HTML 5 games. What really got my interest was that there is the ability to create Windows 8 games using Construct 2 with Visual Studio 12. The Construct 2 development environment is pretty easy to use and I find that some similarities to Visual Studio (among other tools) is helpful in finding ones way around it. The image below shows the layout of graphical objects on the screen as well as the properties box, list of images and outline of the project. The coding involves what is called an event sheet. I really like that for a single event you can easily specify different actions for different objects in the game. Programs/games are created in the Construct 2 IDE and tested in a web browser. My next step is to outline the things you’ll want to include in a game that you make with Construct 2 in order to make it fit the guidelines for inclusion in the Windows Marketplace.
SABOTAGE – Un élève réécrit une page Wikipédia pour ne pas être accusé de plagiat Début 2008, un élève s'est amusé à saboter le contenu de la page Wikipédia consacrée au livre Le Meilleur des mondes, d'Aldous Huxley. Son mobile ? il avait intégralement repompé la page pour un devoir de français et ne voulait pas que sa prof s'en aperçoive. Ci-dessous, un aperçu du début du résumé de l'ouvrage revu et massacré par l'élève : Le début du résumé de la page Wikipédia réécrite par l'élève Un contributeur remarque la supercherie quelques jours plus tard, la révoque et signifie au saboteur : "Avant de changer complètement un article, il serait pertinent que vous en discutiez en page de discussion". S'engage alors une discussion surréaliste entre les deux protagonistes : "- En fait je voulais juste changer le resumé pendant une semaine parque j'ai rendu un devoir à ma prof de français et j'ai beaucoup pompé. - L'article 'Le meilleur des mondes' a été visité 15 000 fois en mars 2008, ce qui fait 3 500 visiteurs par semaine.

When Michael Haas, a former senior airman with the US air force, looks back on the missions he flew over Afghanistan and other conflict zones in a six-year career operating military drones, one of the things he remembers most vividly is the colorful language airmen would use to describe their targets. A team of three would be sitting, he recalls, in a ground control station in Creech air force base outside Las Vegas, staring at computer screens on to which images would be beamed back from high-powered sensors on Predator drones thousands of miles away. The aim of the missions was to track, and when the conditions were deemed right, kill suspected insurgents. And then there were the children. They called them “fun-sized terrorists”. Haas is one of four former air force drone operators and technicians who as a group have come forward to the Guardian to register their opposition to the ongoing reliance on the technology as the US military’s modern weaponry of choice. The number was 1,626.
