Robotics

Sophomore Jonathan Miranda has been doing some amazing things. Last year he and Ibrahim Khater decided that they would figure out a way to make a "working prosthetic/bionic arm" They set out to make it so that anyone with access to hobby supplies and a 3D printer could make their own.  

Jonathan came back to school this August with a working robotic hand (below). He tapes the sensors to his hand, they send movement data to a microchip that then sends a radio signal to an different microchip that then controls some servos to move the hand, which was made mostly from parts he had around the house.  
 
This year we are also experimenting with EKG/EEG sensors.

Monday's Motivational Moment!

THE VALUE OF FIVE MINUTES

Napolean wrote that the reason why he beat the Austrians was that they did not know the value of five minutes. It took Lincoln less than five minutes to deliver his immortal Gettysburg Address. It took William Jennings Bryan less than five minutes to electrify a great political convention with but a single expression that gave him the nomination for presidency of the United States.

The lesson for our Bears? This school year invest your time wisely. Set personal goals. And remember . . . a year from now you may wish you had started today.

LET'S MAKE IT A GREAT WEEK #2 BEARS!
