Engagement in STEM through robotics, mechatronics, cybersecurity and more

students in SMART Summer program with robots in a lab

High-school teachers and Fellows in the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering SMART summer program work on a string robot that moves across a string and drops a ball when it "hears" hands clapping. On the floor is the Shame Bot, that hangs its "head" and displays a sad face on its screen when someone speaks sharply. Both were developed in the school's Mechatronics lab, where teachers and fellows conduct summer research and develop STEM lessons for K-12 students using robots to engage children.
