Our @gosh_community sponsored, Jungle Tech workshop series continues with a day on CAMERA TRAPPING and ANIMAL TRACKING. We had a very @wildlivesclass -like day learning about different types of camera traps while also playing “what i do” the game for learning about behavior via footprints that Alex Hornstein and Lumen taught us at Dinacon. Then we set up some camera traps and left them. Hopefully we will catch a Jaguar!
Nuestra serie de talleres Jungle Tech patrocinada por @gosh_community continúa con un día sobre TRAMPEO DE CÁMARA y SEGUIMIENTO DE ANIMALES. Tuvimos un día muy similar a @wildlivesclass aprendiendo sobre diferentes tipos de cámaras trampa mientras jugábamos “lo que hago” el juego para aprender sobre el comportamiento a través de huellas que Alex Hornstein y Lumen nos enseñaron en Dinacon. Luego instalamos algunas cámaras trampa y las dejamos. ¡Ojalá cojamos un Jaguar!
We explored the rainforest at 365nm and see what fluoresces! Turns out red eyed tree frogs have blue peepers under UV (and dried out egg sacs fluoresce, but live ones dont!)
Yesterday we had a packed workshop (on one of the hottest days here in Gamboa) teaching not only the basics of 3D printing with open source technology, but also about how to upcycle plastic bottles into DIY PET filament!
Participants learned to scale, slice, review models, print, and to stringify (via our open source plastic bottle stringer Motorized Plastic Stringer | Hackaday.io) plastic bottles before pullstruding them into filament with a hacked Creality Ender 3 (www.recreator3D.com)
Where we went over the basics of editing Wikipedia and proper style and ethics, along with the added twist of trying to circumvent the IP blocks that Wikipedia has a many internet service providers here in Panama!
It was great, took lessons from the Wikipedia Editing session from @TiagoLubiana during GOSH2022, and showed people how to build cred on their accounts with lots of tiny edits like adding links or fixing grammar. And also showing how we can use iNaturalist to filter for public domain images to add photos to creatures that don’t yet exist in their article.
