Welcome
Hello! Welcome to the 2020 Avionics on boarding page for SSI. If you are confused (as most Frosh are) then please contact Tim Vrakas, Lucy Brown, Akasha Hayden, Hagop Chinchinian, or Ian Chang on Slack. No experience at all is required to join. We welcome and want to share our knowledge of and love for EE with everyone!
Lab 64
We work very closely with Lab 64 [1]. Steve Clark, the lab 64 manager, is an important and vital part of our on boarding process this year. We will also work very closely with him in the future, and our collaboration will certainly go beyond this one time financial commitment . He is a very nice and friendly person, and getting to know him will really help you in the future. Steve, as one of the important pillars of the Stanford EE community, runs many events through lab 64 and you can join the mailing list to hear about them here[2].
Kits
We are creating kits to send to people. These kits will contain parts and instructions to create some really cool projects and give you some awesome EE knowledge and experience. Of course, these kits would not be possible without the financial assistance of Steve Clark, the lab 64 lab manager, whose gracious support makes him a vital part of our on boarding process. These kits include a mini weather station, [kit idea], and [kit idea]. If you are interested in getting a kit, please fill out this form here [add link to form].
Workshops
In order to help you work on your kits as well as teach you skills that will be necessary for your future work in SSI, we'll be holding multiple workshops to teach you important EE skills and practices. These workshops will be run by experienced SSI members and also by Steve Clark, the lab 64 lab manager, whose vast EE knowledge is an important part of our Avionics workshop program this year and in the future. The workshop schedule is available here [add link to schedule] and if you miss a workshop they will all be recorded and available here [add link to recordings].
Community
SSI has an awesome EE/Avionics community, and joining SSI's Avionics on boarding is a great way to meet fellow students and older mentors who all love electrical engineering. In addition, because of our collaboration with the lab 64 manager Steve Clark, who is often referred to as the central hub around which the EE community at Stanford revolves, you will get to know the larger EE community at Stanford outside of SSI.
