SCALE: The Next Generation, a youth-focused tech event will return to the Pasadena Convention Center on Saturday, March 16th.
This is an event where the free and open source community leaders of tomorrow will be able to spotlight their ideas, projects, and talents. Programming is part of the larger Southern California Linux Expo open source technology conference.
This year’s program will include sessions on everything from digital art to building games, computer vision to robotics, and mechatronics t0 3D design and printing. All sessions are presented by students in grades 6-12.
In addition to the presentations by fellow students, attendees may visit The Next Generation (TNG) Playground to get hands-on experience with Linux and open source apps, computer vision/OpenCV, AI and generative art, and 3D printing. The Los Angeles Public Library will be there with their neighborhood science kits. The Open Source Rover will be available for demonstration and Q&A. These activities are mainly geared for middle school and high school students, but there will be a couple of activities for younger kids to build projects with Snap Circuits and Turing Tumble.
For school groups or clubs, registration is complimentary for both students and chaperones. If students are coming with their parents, students can register for free, but parents need to register for a SCALE Expo pass.
