Does the name "Arduino" conjure up visions of a café in Pisa or does "Raspberry Pi" get your mouth watering for a fruit-laden pastry? These are actually the names of small, very inexpensive computer controllers that use chips originally designed for smartphones, car safety systems, and factory automation. See how we create sophisticated interactive electro-mechanical exhibits on a tight or non-existent budget. Stan Cohen, the Museum's exhibit-electronics builder, will "pull back the curtain" on some of the exhibits that use this technology.
Dr. Stan Cohen is the founder of the Center for Art and Exhibit Electronics Design (CAEED), through which he works with universities and museums to teach electronic fabrication and the use of microcontrollers in exhibits and public art installations. He is currently a Visiting Professor at NM Highlands University and a volunteer in the Museum Exhibits Fabrication Department. Dr. Cohen spent 20 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a physicist, controls engineer, and team leader at the LANSCE 800 MeV proton accelerator. He serves as the chief technology officer at BiRa Systems, in Albuquerque. He earned a B.S. and M.S. in physics (University of Washington) and Ph.D. in experimental atomic physics (UNM).
