Prep bead for Stephen Guerin's four-hour session at the New Mexico Supercomputing Challenge Summer Teacher Institute 2026 (July 12–17, 2026, NM Tech, Socorro). The arc: participants first experience the power and control of their phone as an acequia device they host (a first-class parciante node serving content via URIs and tokens), then descend to building their own simtable (phone camera plus projector plus a surface). Multi-phone capture of the session itself is a planned first exercise.
