Andrew's Leap
|
|
Andrew's Leap is a summer program run by
the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science. All local area high
school students are eligible to participate. Participants will be given access
to resources usually reserved for Ph.D. students and research scientists. Through
special classes and independent projects, students will be exposed to the frontiers
of computer science. They will "leap" ahead approximately ten years.
Students will have an opportunity to interact with some of the country's leading
scientists. The Andrew's Leap website is at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~leap/
The Robotics Section
of Andrew's Leap is for students who want to spend their afternoons learning
how to design, build, and program small mobile robots. The goal is to learn
the principles and techniques of tabletop robot design. Students will design,
construct, and test small humanoids, sumo robots, and others. Lab sessions will
address use of simple machine tools, mechanical construction, electronics, and
programming. Design elements and design skills will be developed through a sequence
of robot dissections and fast prototyping of student designs.
