2/12/2019. This week in the maker club we moved on from geodesic dome design to three new project areas. The girls in the club were divided into three groups. The girls that were selected to present our student showcase at the NC-TIES conference went back to work with Micro.bit programming projects, as they will be showcasing Micro.bit at the conference. The girls who were in the club last year moved over to the media center to work with NC State education doctoral student Cigdem Meral on 3d printing activities. Finally, the girls who were not in the club last year got started working with the Hummingbird robotics platform, playing back videos of existing projects to get a feel for the technology and what it can do, and planning the design of their own robot. Club mentors are still working to get laptops loaded with appropriate software for Hummingbird, so the girls spent this week working on the cardboard bases and pieces that will make up the elements of their robot.
