Make It Move, Part 1
How do we make machines move the way we want them to?
This summer camp theme explores MOTION! See part two for Simple Machines and more.
| Project: | Description: | Related concepts and machines: |
| Human-Robot Communication | From Code.org and DiscoverE. Communicating with our fellow humans precisely isn’t always easy! We’ll first give directions to an assembler with words, then use only symbols and algorithms. | Directions and Coding. 3D Printers, Fanuc Robot & Fanuc Punchtape, Haas DT1 |
| Sphero Bumper Cars | From Sphero Education. Drag-and-drop programming will use a small robot’s sensors to detect collisions. | Sensors and Coding: Haas Dt1, D-Tect It Sensors, Measurement |
| Space Suit Design | From NASA’s “Getting the Right Fit.” In this activity, we’ll use interchangeable parts to get the right fit for a spacesuit arm, and allow for maximum range of motion. | Designing for Motion, Planes, Measurement. Jo-Blocks, Interchangeable parts, NASA Artemis Mission and xEMU Suits, axes used on comparator or in CNC. |
We collected these free resources online, and combined they make about one day’s worth of activities (three projects, cleanup, lunch, and breaks).
