Robots are fun

Me at home learning more about 3D printing, chisels and the awesomeness of dremel tools!

FIRST STEP – teach myself how to use Tinkercad and 3D Print

Dr Gary Stager is one of my educational superheroes

Design & Tech (Year 10) Solar unit – paper circuit cards, 2×1.5V solar panels, and student rapid prototypes (solar caravan & floating solar farms)

Makey Makey, Play-doh & Minecraft

Hosted by Graham Phillips (love him on ABC’s Catalyst)

Superhero Daughter Day 2017 at TechnologyOne, Brisbane.

Favourite game? Galaga!

I’m a Tech Girl!

magic!

‘Danosourice’ – a robotic forklift

yes!

This was a fun project, although it was a bit awkward to use & hold once it was completed.

Ta da! Looks great in the evening

so true!

Track placer – driving over the track

Teaching 7 year old daughter x-y axis and basic coding concepts using Hopscotch app

Here is Tickle’s block-type code. It’s easy to drag & drop the ‘code’ bits and you basically have to sequence it in the order that you want things to occur. I created 2 functions which Tickle calls Events.

Robotic Arm

Makey Makey with a view!

MIT App Inventor

EV3 Robot Arm – turns, drops & lifts, and picks things up.

Game Developer Barbies

Pokemon at the school pool

‘Will shoot you if you walk in front of it Turret’ – military defence system

Me at the Brisbane Tech Girl Superheroes Showcase 2016

Track placer – robot that senses when there is a big gap/hole on the ground, places a bridge over the gap & then drives over it to get to the other side

Arduino & Processing

Physical programming

Danger Will Robinson, Danger!

I read this book over a decade ago; how we should parent, teach & work!

It was a lot of fun making a Bubble Flute with littleBits

‘Robbit’ – boom gate system

Littlebits house

Unicorns are real, they are!

pneumatic movement to make the puppets mouth open & close

Superhero Daughter day at Microsoft

Tickle has a button on the bottom-left that shows you the Swift code (Apple). I was NOT able to maximize the screen & I was not able to save it easily into a separate file = annoying!

EV3 Colour Sorter uses the colour sensor and then delivers the block to the correct cup.
