It admittedly felt strange walking though South Campus this morning since I was not rushing through my breakfast to make my 8a.m. musicianship class.
Nope, today marked the beginning of something really fun, my summer work with Dr. Alex Ruthmann, alongside my co-workers Graham Allen and Savannah Marshall.
It seems like we'll be doing a lot of different things, which will definitely keep my interest! The work encompasses elements of music, electronics, data analysis and computer programming. What we do will range from organizing and presenting information and media gathered from some classes taught at UMass Lowell, to working with Arduino micro controllers (and their cousin, the Makey Makey). I've been learning Java by myself for the last two months and will also be familiarizing myself with Scratch 2.0 and the Arduino language, neat! Also, we will take a few trips over the summer to meet with and share information with a few local companies that are related to our work.
I'm excited to dive into the technology, make some music and share our developments with the internet community. It's always a good time on South campus.
