From the project
Open Source Turtle Robot
Open Source Turtle Robot (OSTR) -------------------------------
I designed this project for a 10-hour workshop for ChickTech.org whose goal is to introduce teenage women to STEM topics. The goals for this project were:
- Easy to build. - Easy to program. - Did something interesting. - Low-cost so participants could take it home and continue to learn.
Robotics is the exciting intersection of a number of engineering fields including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science. This project was designed to make learning about these fields accessible and exciting.
