This is an exploration of engineering, computer programming basics, and Engineering Design Process. Students document progress in an Engineer’s Journal. The activities will culminate in a day at MUSC Health Professions and Research Center to see robots in occupational therapy. Goal: greater understanding of communication skills, group work, importance of planning, future career options in engineering, and the chance to develop technology skills and programming basics.

Accomplished: LabView program and Math Worksheet 1
On Friday we completed our program! The robot moves forward 1 meter (which is 3.7 sec. (~4 seconds)). Back the same distance. Stops successfully and then sings a song!
After we did a math worksheet which shows the girls how to calculate average duration. Ex) If it takes about 4 seconds to travel 1 meter, then how many seconds would it take to travel 15 meters?
Above is a picture of the program we built:
~ see everyone on Friday!
