OK Philippines Participates in Maker Festival Manila 2014
OK Philippines represent!!!!!!! Joseph De Guia, local group ambassador, TJ Dimacali, journalist and media manager, and Happy Feraren, School of Data Fellow, represent the OK Philippines local group and lead the event activities in the festival. The group participated in the exhibition showcasing Open Knowledge working groups: Open Government Data, Lobbying Transparency, Open Education, Open Spending, and School of Data. The event also gave us the opportunity to recruit members of the community with more than a hundred participants signed up for membership and looking forward to OK Philippines launching event. Happy was also there for the lightning presentation on Introduction to Open Data and School of Data, as well as the movement of OKFN in Europe. The open data movement and activism is new in the Philippines. The local group is being led by OK Philippines.The Open Data Task Force of the national government is the national prime mover of open government data leading transparency and accountability as well as efficiency in government services.
The event was organized by the tech group community of Mozilla Philippines and its partners. Maker Festival Manila 2014 recently concluded on 14 September 2014 at Glorietta 5 Mall Makati City. The gathering of makers using the web to make collaboration better for all users, knowing more, do more, and do better. Maker Festival Manila 2014 followed the format of the Mozilla Festival in London. This event of the Mozilla Philippines Community is the finale campaign for 2014.
I Encuentro por el Conocimiento Abierto en El Salvador
In line with the OKFestival (in Berlin) and the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Governance Forum (in San Salvador), we will celebrate for the first time ever the I Encuentro por el Conocimiento Abierto en El Salvador (I Open Knowledge Meeting in El Salvador), which will take place on July 15th, 2014 in La Casa Tomada (thanks to the support of the Cultural Center of Spain in El Salvador).
This meeting is coordinated by OKFN El Salvador, INSERT, Creative Commons El Salvador and Association of Librarians of El Salvador.
We will be discussing Open Knowledge, Open Data, Creative Commons Licenses, Open Education and will sign the Declaration for Open Knowledge in El Salvador.
We hope to promote these meetings every year in our country.

Introduction to Aerospace Engineering and Design

Instructors:
Prof. Dava Newman
MIT Course Number:
16.00
Level:
Undergraduate
Course Features
Projects (no examples)
Course Description
The fundamental concepts, and approaches of aerospace engineering, are highlighted through lectures on aeronautics, astronautics, and design. Active learning aerospace modules make use of information technology. Student teams are immersed in a hands-on, lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicle design project, where they design, build, and fly radio-controlled LTA vehicles. The connections between theory and practice are realized in the design exercises. Required design reviews precede the LTA race competition. The performance, weight, and principal characteristics of the LTA vehicles are estimated and illustrated using physics, mathematics, and chemistry known to freshmen, the emphasis being on the application of this knowledge to aerospace engineering and design rather than on exposure to new science and mathematics.

Course Description
Student teams formulate and complete space/earth/ocean exploration-based design projects with weekly milestones. This course introduces core engineering themes, principles, and modes of thinking, and includes exercises in written and oral communication and team building. Specialized learning modules enable teams to focus on the knowledge required to complete their projects, such as machine elements, electronics, design process, visualization and communication. Examples of projects include surveying a lake for millfoil from a remote controlled aircraft, then sending out robotic harvesters to clear the invasive growth; and exploration to search for the evidence of life on a moon of Jupiter, with scientists participating through teleoperation and supervisory control of robots.

Course Highlights
This course features archived syllabi from various semesters.
Course Description
Although attention will be devoted to the causes and long-term consequences of the Civil War, this class will focus primarily on the war years (1861-1865) with special emphasis on the military and technological aspects of the conflict. Four questions, long debated by historians, will receive close scrutiny:
What caused the war?
Why did the North win the war?
Could the South have won?
To what extent is the Civil War America's "defining moment"?
