Awesome feature by Sophie Bushwick in Scientific American today about Northwestern professor Josiah Hester's new #FaceBit. It's a " #Fitbit for your face!" Josiah Hester scientificamerican.com/article/new-se…

My latest for @forbes: Researchers Have Innovated A Way To Digitize Masks-- paving the way for "Smart Masks" CC: Northwestern Engineering, Josiah Hester, 🌱 Nivedita Arora 🌎 Sustainable Computing, Yang Zhang et al, & many others that contributed to this incredible tech! forbes.com/sites/saibala/…

Congratulations to our team on our publication Facebit, which is making a big splash in the news! Testing the mask in a clinical setting and getting feedback from clinicians is very exciting! Read the Forbes article here —>

This was so cool too (1) talk to Sylvia Perez live, and (2) talk about the amazing work my students have been up to! fox32chicago.com/video/1024170

An update on Wordle

.Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed the first computer coding platform that enables kids to build & program sustainable, battery-free, energy-harvesting devices. Called Battery-free MakeCode, the new tool is based on Microsoft's Microsoft MakeCode: bit.ly/375hzes

Informed by his Native Hawaiian heritage, Josiah Hester develops battery-free devices with an eye towards sustainability. Indigenous grade-schoolers in Kāneʻohe, Hawaii, are now the first to learn the new platform as part of an U.S. National Science Foundation-supported pilot program. bit.ly/375hzes

New research from Northwestern University is adapting Microsoft MakeCode to be battery-free. Explore how MakeCode, a joint project between Microsoft Research & Visual Studio, makes programming easier for all students to learn with visual, drag-and-drop blocks: msft.it/6001wqv55

Northwestern Northwestern Engineering Microsoft We 💜 Battery-Free MakeCode!

Now all a 6th grader needs for programming energy harvesting powered devices is a web browser and $25 worth of parts (breadboard, solar panel, micro:bit, one breakout board). This was a goal for intermittent computing for me, from the start. So exciting!

This #EarthDay we're celebrating sustainable coding with Battery-Free MakeCode! 🌎 Learn more about how Northwestern researchers are using MakeCode to program devices to powered by renewable energy sources. 🔋 msft.it/6011wAkFB
