Instructor directions are listed below:
- Explain to students that engineers often use the Engineering Design Process to create solutions to real world problems.
- Engineers also apply the Engineering Design Process to make fun creations that combine art and engineering.
- Explain to students that during this project, they will be working in pairs to create a robotic hat of their own design.
- Share the following videos from our summer camps featuring robotic hats: https://vimeo.com/218852898, https://vimeo.com/218852867, https://vimeo.com/216874740, or https://vimeo.com/223165806
It is recommended that you create your own robotic hat/s (or multiple) before beginning this activity with students.
You may also want to show this final project earlier in the project, either at the very beginning or after students complete their robotic creations, so that they can begin to think about how they might incorporate Servos and LEDs into their hat.
