🌟 Are you aware that high school robotics programs are inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators? 🤖 Hingham High School has launched its inaugural robotics program tailored for 8th to 10th graders, aiming to equip students with crucial skills for the future. Here’s what you need to know about this exciting initiative: - **Hands-On Learning:** Students will gain practical experience in engineering, programming, and problem-solving through building and programming robots. - **Team Collaboration:** The program emphasizes teamwork and communication, essential skills in today’s workforce. - **STEM Engagement:** This initiative fosters interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, preparing students for future educational and career opportunities. By cultivating these skills early, Hingham's robotics program paves the way for future tech leaders! 🌐 What are your thoughts on youth engagement in robotics? How do you think such programs can impact student career paths? Share your insights in the comments! #Robotics #STEMEducation #FutureInnovators

I had an elective choice when I went to college: Jazz Instrument History or Public Speaking... 💢ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!💢 Why would a manufacturing employer care whether you know about the history of certain brass instruments? This is a small portion of why our workforce lacks the skills actually needed on the job - THIS is why employers are stopping by Mach 1 Mechatronics Academy asking for our graduates list and/or sponsoring students before they graduate. It's time for our future manufacturing workforce to get taught what America's industry needs! It's time for a revolution. What you see on industry floor is what we teach at Mach 1 Mechatronics Academy. No jazz class, no gym class. STRICTLY the skills our manufacturing workforce needs paired with work ethic and on the job behavior coaching. #manufacturing #Mechatronics #robotics #education #workforce

SCAD’s origin story famously features a beloved yellow VW Bug, the car that first brought me to Savannah when I created SCAD more than 45 years ago. Little did I know then that automotive design would play a key role in the SCAD story for many decades.     In the 2000s, SCAD industrial design students built their first street-legal car—the EXO Spyder. In the 2010s, we launched SCADpro, where our Bees partner with industry giants like Volvo, Ford, BMW, Hyundai, and others to rethink and reimagine the driving experience from the inside out (think A.I. and flying cars). This academic year, we've amped our game even higher, inviting SCAD students to create not one but two fully functional electric vehicles (EVs)—making transportation history along the way.    At SCAD Atlanta, our Bees are building a transformative multifunction EV that can morph from sedan to pickup to camper, while the Savannah team is creating a sportster EV that delivers race-level performance. Both models will be street legal, a feat no other design school has even attempted, and both are targeted specifically at a demographic SCAD loves and knows well: Gen Z and the Alphas. These are not your parents' cars.    In fall, under the guidance of SCAD industrial design professors Owen Foster (Atlanta) and Rafael Corazza (Savannah), students began by asking questions that plunge into the heart of human-centered design, such as: How does a car help you achieve a better life? What about cars engenders so much passion? Can an EV evolve with the driver? To help our students explore their ideas and concepts, they met with pros in the automotive industry, as well as fashion, luxury marketing, and "fringe tech"—technology that extends into science fiction, e.g., controlling a car with eye tracking and hand gestures.     Many of our SCAD industrial design students are so charged up over this epic assignment that they even stuck around campus over winter break to keep moving the work ahead. Who could blame them? How often do undergraduate design students get to work with fringe tech? Students have already begun the fabrication and buildout process, including a collab with SCADpro partner Club Car, a Georgia brand developing a new EV platform of its own. Prototype assembly and testing take place this spring through a partnership with 3D Solutions, Inc., in Atlanta, owned by SCAD dad Gary Golden—father of SCAD visual effects student Sam Golden. I do love a full-circle SCAD story!    Both EVs make their debuts this spring—and if you'd like to join our creative hive, consider making your SCAD debut this fall! Plan your visit to one of our upcoming SCAD Days (April 6 in Atlanta or April 13 in Savannah), where you can meet SCAD industrial design professors and maybe even see the new EVs before they hit the streets!

From EAGLE to PCB: Super pleased with this PCB I designed as part of my research internship. Putting the time and effort in to learn about PCB design will surely help reduce wiring headaches as I progress with further robotics development! #robotics #PCB #hardware
