The Future of Resilience Contest
This is a Project and Resource page for the The Future of Resilience Contest.
Let's get started... Its going to be a fun, awesome ride...
Sid Bar for Teachers: This Unit and lessons is really about how I start my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class. I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class. Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant. Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible. Use this email link to let me know what is broken @ TopClown@STEAMClown.org

Learning Objective:
- Introduction to HacksterIO Challenges
- Labs and Robot Club Projects
- Learn about industry boards and Equipment
- Explore Mechanical and Coding Brainstorming to solve challenges
- None - You Be You
- PC, Laptop or Other device to access the LinkedIn application
- Each lesson will have specific items needed to complete the labs and tasks
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.
Challenges Resources, Information, & Engineering Notebooks
The Challenge:
The future of resilient cities prioritizes preparedness, proactive planning, and the implementation of innovative strategies to build and maintain strong foundations that can withstand and recover quickly from disruptions.

Getting Started with the AVR-IoT Cellular Mini Development Board
- Step 1 - Opening, Installing Software, and Powering On
Connecting Your Board With Out A Sim Card?
plug in the USB C power/data cable
You should have a USB drive called "CURIOSITY show up on you PC
Click on the CLICK-ME.HTM file to go to the Microchip site https://iot.microchip.com/avr-iot-cellular-mini and click on the Upgrade the Board Firmware tab
The board is pre-programmed with an on-boarding / sandbox firmware, which is designed to interact with this page and get you up and running. For the optimal experience, download the newest version of said firmware.
When downloaded, drag and drop the .hex file to the CURIOSITY drive as shown
Click the "Connect To Board"
Select the indicated Serial COM port
Click "Connect"
Seems like I can connect to the board Serial COM port, and it can see that the board does not have a SIM card...
Maybe the next step is going to https://iot.microchip.com/docs/arduino/start and seeing if you can get an IDE up and dunning with out the SIM card installed.
