Originally known as the ASME Open Source Microcontroller Workshop,
Osmoces has expanded since its founding to incorporate every aspect of
mechanical, computerized, and electronic design and manufacturing.
Osmoces is a STEM outreach event created to promote and support local
robotic teams such as FIRST Robotics Competition, VEX Robotics Design
System and associated competitions, and more, by finding engineering and
open source content to benefit participants in those programs and others
who may be interested in these technologies.

While Osmoces retains its central focus on microcontrollers such as
Arduino and Raspberry Pi, attendees will also have the opportunity to
learn soldering techniques, circuit board etching, CAD and 3D printing,
and much more. Osmoces offers enthusiastic presenters and experts
willing to share and exchange a rich variety of information in their fields.

At Osmoces 2013, these experts include members of and involvement
information on well-established robotics clubs, including ChiBots,
Workshop 88, FRC, Fermilab physicist Bill Higgins; and many other
industry professionals.

Registration $5 seniors, $10 students, $15 general, special pricing
for student groups.
