Engineering Week: Underwater Robotics
Nationwide
15.08.2011
9.30am - 4.00pm
In this one-day workshop, students will collaborate in teams to design and build their own fully functioning remotely operated underwater vehicle, with mechanical grabber.
Students will use their robots to retrieve and manipulate objects on the bottom of a pool in a small competition at the end of the day.
The workshop will not involve computer programming, but will focus on the physical and mechanical aspects of robotics and engineering in a marine environment. Practical work will be interspersed with short talks and discussions to illustrate how these engineering problems relate to fundamental aspects of mathematics and physics that students will be encountering in their classrooms.
Suitable for 14-17 year-olds only.
Tickets are £20 standard/£10 Faraday Members
