ENGR 0715 - Engineering Applications for Society

Spring 2008 Projects

Engineering Education With Lego Mindstorm

Community Partner: Carnegie Science Center

Team:


Dave Oakley, Benjamin Schneider, Jeffrey Parvin, Titus Jones

Problem Statement:

Our objective was to design a robot to entertain and educate the children who attended the Carnegie Science Center's "Engineer the Future Day" on February 15th. The robot was designed to be interactive in order to capture the attention of the children and give them a hands-on learning experience. After the demonstration, we produced a video documenting our project and showing how to educate children in an entertaining way.
