2/20/2018. As some of the girls were finishing up with their first Hummingbird robotics projects, this week the maker club kicked off with a short video showing different types of mechanisms that can be incorporated into future projects. Dr. Oliver shared a handout showing different kinds of Hummingbird projects other students have created to inspire the girls to try building a different type of robot (e.g., animate an animal, animate a famous work of art, animate a sports figure with relevant motion like throwing a baseball, animate a character from a popular book, make a game that incorporates motion like randomly moving hands that try to keep a ping pong ball from entering a basket, and more). Next week, the three groups that will be attending and sharing their finished Hummingbird projects at the NC-TIES state technology conference will spend some time making posters for the showcase.
