| | Sensor Fabrication | | - STEM Students
- High School students already design their own circuit boards, do soldering, even advanced soldering
- Middle School students may be involved as well
- Robotics teams design entire system
- Can do C programming
- Students good at system integration
- This project could give their next generation of students experience
- Video production students at STEM may want to make videos to document the fabrication process
- Possibility of doing a Nepris presentation
- Timeline
- Nicolette's classes have flexibility
- Target mid-October at latest to begin fabrication
- Logistics
- Start with a few units for fabrication
- Check the work to see what needs improving
- First contact point
- Bring examples of built units
- To show students the quality expected
- Take apart, show how they go together
- Build a few with the students
- Then let students build an initial batch
- Inspect quality of work, give feedback
- ~4 hours per week of contact time, sometimes interruptions
- October to November open in their schedule
- Then let students build the rest
- Label sensors so that the students feel sense of ownership and pride in their work
- Questions
- What size soldering irons are needed?
- Types of screw drivers
- When installing sensors near the school (Willow and Teurlings) allow students to watch
