On 17th November, IdeaSquare is organising an FPGA hands-on workshop aimed at members of the CERN community under the precious instruction of Adriaan Rijllart. This free of charge workshop will allow 9 people to gain hands-on experience of FPGA programming and the use of LabVIEW for scientific purposes.
Researchers from ISOLDE used our facilities to make many different things. Using the water jet cutter we were able to quickly and cheaply create non-magnetic brass tools for their highly magnetic equipment.
During 3 days in November 2021, IdeaSquare was able to provide 3D printers and access to the machine shop to members of CLEAR (CERN Linear Electron Accelerator for Research) for a prototyping project under the skillful supervision of Oscar Lilleløkken, workshop supervisor.
From the kickoff on the 2nd of June until the final demo day on the 22nd of July, 20 students from the University of Amsterdam, Delft University of Technology, and Erasmus University of Rotterdam, have been working on challenges using ATTRACT Technologies in new ways. By using Design Thinking they have been gathering information about different user needs and how to meet those needs with their chosen ATTRACT technology.
