11:00amCT/12:00pm ET
Location: Blackboard Collaborate
There are so many great young people who are using technology in amazing ways, and we are thrilled to have one of them presenting for us this week. Coco Kaleel was a keynote presenter for the Student Technology Conference in January, 2016 and was so inspiring we knew we had to invite her to present for us. Coco hopes to help make makers and inspire innovators by demystifying technology and tools. She wants students and educators to not be intimidated by machinery that can help them collaboratively and creatively expand their worlds as makers. Coco’s “happy place” is in the garage or at her local hackerspace where she uses industrial laser cutters, a lathe, a drill press, a grinder/buffer, and saws like saber, fret, mitre, table, and hack. She makes projects ranging from a laser-cut logo on a student council suggestion box, to a Halloween costume illuminated with LEDs connected to a microprocessor, to 3D-printed camera mount brackets for her drone. She even fixed the family’s dishwasher for $1 using her soldering skills and an inexpensive part from the local electronics store. Coco advocates for girls and boys to have safe access to tools that once were common in shop classes in schools just a generation ago. For the next generation of problem solvers, Coco hopes that makerspaces in schools become as commonplace as soccer teams and scouts. Coco will walk the audience along her path with technology and discuss getting started with soldering, learning to use Arduino in projects, and understanding software to learn 3D printing. She’ll also highlight summer camps, publications and websites that inspired her. She’ll bring all of these elements together when she talks about her summer challenge to build a flying tricopter by sourcing and making her own parts. The sky’s the limit when girls and boys have the tools.
Coco Kaleel, an 8th grader from California, supports and inspires technology novices and enthusiasts with her website. Embracing 3D printing, coding, design software and even drones, Coco hopes to encourage her peers to make technology, not just consume it. With kit reviews and making tips, Coco tries to simplify the process for her audience to make it more accessible, whether simple blinky-lights or a full 3D printer kit. Coco had the honor to co-write the foreword to the recently published book The New Shop Class: Getting Started with 3D Printing, Arduino, and Wearable Tech from Apress Publishing. Coco’s appeared as a panelist on topics such as “Arduino Grassroots Revolution” and “Women in STEM” at Loscon40, did a poster presentation at 3D Printer World Expo, gave her talk “Girls and Robots” at the Texas Linux Fest in Austin, and recently delivered the conference warm-up and taught a soldering class to educators at the Design and Maker Class Colloquium. MAKE Magazine posted a blog about Coco and one of her mentors entitled “Soldering a Connection – The Start of a Mentoring Relationship” which was then translated for MAKE: Japan. Coco also enjoys fencing; field hockey; her school 3D printing, robotics, math, and Latin clubs; playing the oboe; and helping puppy-raise for Guide Dogs of America.
