Electrify My heART
Funded Oct 25, 2017Thank you so much for your donations to help fund mine and Mrs. Campbell's collaborative project called "Electrify my heART". Over the course of the last 3 months, our students designed beautiful pieces of art, then used Arduinos, breadboards, sensors, and lights to electrify these art pieces into a complete, interactive art gallery. This gallery will be permanently installed at our new school building that will open for the 2018-2019 school year.
In the process, our students learned how to collect data from sensors, how to differentiate between digital and analog data, how to process the collected data into useful information about the environment, and how to use lights or motors to respond to sensor activation. The students completed 11 unique pieces. Highlights include a portrait of Darth Vader whose light saber lights up when you touch the power button, a scene from the Disney movie "Tangled" where the paper lanterns illuminate as they are released, a theme park whose rides appear as if they are moving, an eye that lights up when it detects motion, bubbles made from lights that "pop" when you touch them, and a light bulb that responds to clapping.
We could not have done this without your support! Thank you for supporting the arts at our engineering school.”

Funded Oct 20, 2017Thank you so much for your support of our Robotics programs. I cannot express enough what it means to me, my students, and our school. With these tools, we will be able to ensure that our students are learning real-world hands-on skills that will make them better students, better learners, and better global citizens, equipped with the expertise to achieve their dreams.”
