CS Ethics, Insect IoT, Glitch Showcase, and SQL Repos
-
Embedded
Ethics — Harvard project that integrates ethics modules
into courses across the standard computer science curriculum.
Those modules are straightforward, online, and open access. -
Living IOT: A
Flying Wireless Platform on Live Insects — We develop and
deploy our platform on bumblebees which includes backscatter
communication, low-power self-localization hardware, sensors, and a
power source. We show that our platform is capable of sensing,
backscattering data at 1 kbps when the insects are back at the
hive, and localizing itself up to distances of 80 m from the access
points, all within a total weight budget of 102 mg. (via

Looky
What We Made — showcase of Glitch apps. -
