OSWALD Launch and May Issue of Open Sources
The May issue of Open Sources is now available. This issue is almost exclusively about the OSWALD (Oregon State Wireless Active Learning Device).
On Monday (4/27) the LUG, CPATH, and EECS jointly celebrated the release of the OSWALD. Not only did we get to see how many people can fit into the new LUG room, we also enjoyed an afternoon of cake, pizza, mingling, and hacking.
For those who haven’t been introduction to the OSWALD, it is a hand-held device originally designed by OSU student Kevin Kemper as his senior design project. Now the OSWALD plays an active role in the undergraduate computer science program by demonstrating concepts in a hands-on setting. Since it’s launch, first year students have written an MP3 player for the OSWALD in Java. Read Open Sources for more.
