Tree Decoration, theClubhou.se Way
Much like with computers, the best holiday experiences are interactive. Normally at Christmas that means coming together to decorate with friends and family. This year, that decoration had the added element of a friendly competition from the Georgia Cyber Center, which we decided needed a little bit of interactivity to show the community more about theClubhou.se.
White lights are the default setting here before the viewer triggers the colorful display.
When people approach the tree of theClubhou.se, they see a traditional display of white lights and balanced decor. Stepping within ten feet of the tree triggers the other set of colorful lights embedded further into the tree, as well as as a rotating field of red light at the base. Step just a tad closer and Eric Parker programmed a Sumo Robot to serenade you with a variety of carols.
theClubhou.se is a tremendous community of talented collaborators. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to share in this collective endeavor. Be sure to check out our decorative holiday contribution next time you are in the GCC lobby.

The GCC acquired an artificial tree for each partner on the campus to decorate. Given two short weeks to develop and execute a plan for our tree, time was of the essence to start planning and to get the word out to our members right before the Thanksgiving holiday. Fortunately, several members came together to create a truly unique and interactive Christmas experience.
Art “the Artist” Abdon took on the task of converting as many members’ business logos to vector files as he could so Johnny Bello-Ogunu, our Maker Lab Technician and work study student, could use the laser cutter to make wooden ornaments. Chase Lanier and Ezra Hampton strung lights, zip-tied some special displays, and attached cascading blue ribbon before placing reflective decorations, provided by Grace Belangia, all over the tree. Morgan Smith took a break from teaching Code Boot Camp to add some homemade ornaments and tinsel. That is where the e final touch was delivered by David Ray’s startup Cyber City Circuits: a motion-activated sensor.
A colorful pop transitions the tree to party central!
