We had a lot of fun over the last 3 days at the Wisconsin Science Festival<\/a> talking with kids from across the state (and from adjacent states!) about science and technology through a variety of projects that our members have worked on. \u00a0Big thanks to Bob, Eric, Jesse,\u00a0Mike and Shira for volunteering a significant portion of their days to help out, either running the booth or keeping the giant bicycle rolling and thanks to the festival sponsors for creating\u00a0the opportunity.<\/p>\n

We brought over the InMoov<\/a>\u00a0robot that was created on our 3D printers:<\/p>\n

that garnered a lot of attention from the kids:<\/p>\n

As well as a few unusual bicycles including a penny farthing, an electric chopper, and our giant bicycle (that kids could take a ride on around the building):

We also had Bob, Shira, and Eric hosting a table in the robotics zoo behind Union South:

\nEric brought along his thermin-based-keyboard that’s always a hit with the kids:

\nAnd Shira shared a lot of information about 3D printing, programming, and building robots for 2 days straight:

We 3D printed a cool skull<\/a> and tried to get a refill on brains but they only had half a brain on sale:

Thanks to our members for adding tremendous value to our community and inspiring a new generation of youth to pursue a technical field of their interest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
