During the 2009 winter holiday break, nearly 40 middle school and high school students from all over Boston turned out at Madison Park Technical Vocational school to attend a three-day digital electronics course organized by Machine Science and TechBoston. Using Machine Science's new programmable XIPMods, students created their own digital electronic devices, complete with flashing LEDs, LCD text displays, electronic speakers, digital timers, and infrared remote controls. To control their devices, students mastered an impressive set of C programming structures, including loops, conditional statements, and variables. Machine Science and TechBoston staff led the course, with the assistance of Phil Simon and Sam Francois, Boston Latin Academy seniors who have participated in Machine Science programs for four years.
