• "Project Based Learning and Robotics Competitions "

• We have a lot of lessons learned from last year, that we will develop upon. This summer we plan on expanding our internship curriculum to add further detail work in microcontrollers and robotics.

  Fri June 3 2022 : Internship orientation

  The engineering student all did an awesome job!
  

  This summer we have 15 students that signed up for our internship.

  We had all students attend the first engineering session at the UCF-IST facility on June 9.

  The students in attendance were divided into 5 teams.

   

• Engineering Design Process

• Mentoring Presentation -Brain

• Following introductions, we conducted our orientation.  The students were provided an overview of the internship and the expectations. 

• The student took the Multi-tasking test.
• The Multi-tasking test results proved that none of us can Multi-task and must focus on our single task and do it well.

• We then took part in the Tower of Power activity that focused on learning the Engineering Design Process.  

• 

• Agenda for the 2nd Engineering Session:

• A Safety Brief will be given to the students

  Each team will get a SeaPerch Kit

  Instructions and practice Soldering

• Other Engineering Opportunity:

Robo-Knights  - Robotics Competition Team

 

 

 

• Fri 17 June 2022 : SeaPerch and Soldering
• After a quick re-cap of last weeks agenda.
  

• Each team received their SeaPerch Kit.
• Every student practice Soldering.

• We covered the SeaPerch Design Concepts and other Mentoring topics.

  SeaPerch Design Concepts and Mentoring presentation

• Review  the Internship notes - How it Works
• (it's on the web site in the curriculum section)

• Other Engineering Opportunity:
  Robo-Knights – Robotics Competition Team
  The students have a great opportunity to participate in a FIRST FTC Robotics team the fall season.    It is free to join the team and it will be a great learning opportunity in a winning team environment.

 

• Fri 1 July 2022 : Arduino Microcontroller
• After a quick re-cap of last weeks agenda.
  

• The engineering student all did an awesome job programming the Arduino Microcontroller !

• 

• During the engineering session we went over the content presented as part of YouTube tutorial series for Arduino by Jeremy Blum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCxzA9_kg6s

• Mentoring Presentation 3

• Arduino code and the Terminal software zip file

• The student teams also continued the building of their Sea Perch.  

 

• Review  the Internship notes - How it Works

• The student teams continued the building of their Sea Perch and tested them.  

 

 

 

• Fri 15 July 2022 : SeaPerch Test

• The student teams completed the building of their Sea Perch and tested them at the YMCA pool.  

;

• Fri 22 July 2022 : SeaPerch Race

• The student teams raced their SeaPerch.
• Team Arrow: 18.42 sec
