Arts & Bots Project
Combines artistic building, engineering design, and simple computer programming skills to build a three-dimensional art project that the students then animate using simple robotic components.
Gigapan Technology
Students are taught to set up the robotics platform and take photos, employ the stitching software to construct panoramic “Gigapan” images from the photos to display at the Gigapan.com site.
