ROBOT TURTLES - The very fun coding "game" for preschool children to enjoy coding without knowing that's what it is. And by the way, our 4th graders still like it.
See their website here.    Also, I think its creator, Dan Sapiro deserves a shout out because he's cool and doing things for the right reasons. He also crowdfunded a really cool laser called GlowForge. We have one, it's fantastic.  :-) 
Portmanteau:  a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, for example motel (from ‘motor’ and ‘hotel’) or brunch (from ‘breakfast’ and ‘lunch’): podcast is a portmanteau, a made-up word coined from a combination of the words iPod and broadcast.
 
Coopertition®  is a portmanteau used by the FIRST company.  Coopertition® produces innovation. At FIRST, Coopertition is displaying unqualified kindness and respect in the face of fierce competition. Coopertition is founded on the concept and a philosophy that teams can and should help and cooperate with each other even as they compete.Coopertition involves learning from teammates. It is teaching teammates. It is learning from Mentors. And it is managing and being managed. Coopertition means competing always, but assisting and enabling others when you can.

This week we interview Suzi Conklin, chef and cooking instructor, about what's going on in your mixing bowl when you make pancakes.  We also go in depth about the Impossible Burger, the latest craze in food, and one of the best hopes from the food industry of quelling climate change. Join us for a trip to Hood River's own Twin Peaks Drive-in to taste what all the non-meat burger fuss is about.
 
A special happy birthday to two of our Patrons; Murray Sampson and Sandy Beichler!
We hope you have the happiest of birthdays.
We are so grateful that you are both a part of the STEMPunX family.

Show Notes:
ISO: A setting to determine how sensitive the camera is to light.  A higher number makes it more sensitive but can produce noise artifacts.
Shutter Speed: Interprets motion in the frame. Slow shutter speed allows the motion to blur.
Aperture: Determines what is in focus in front of and behind your subject.  A lower number blurs things around your subject and a high number gets more of the image in focus.
Slog2 and Slog3: Contrast curves that allow a wide range of data to be captured, but require adjustments to the image in post production.
Phone photography tips:
Stabilize your phone
Use a selfie stick, preferably with a small tripod attached AND Bluetooth.
Add a good lens that clips to your phone, for wide and macro shots especially. Don't go to cheap though. Aprox. cost $40 per set.
