Working in groups of 2-3, students will use an java based coding language to code autonomous arduino robots for an object avoidance task. This workshop is accessible to students of all backgrounds regardless of any prior coding experience! Requirements: laptop or computer (one per group) with Arduino IDE downloaded and installed.
Robotics Workshop Facilitator: Faheem Mosam, Complex Systems Physics PhD student
About the Speaker
Faheem Mosam earned an honours B.Sc. in medical physics (minors in mathematics and philosophy) from Toronto Metropolitan University and also holds a diploma in marketing from Sheridan College. He is currently in his third year of his PhD in Complex Systems Physics where he researches the emergence of structure in computational systems, specifically, brains. Faheem has been involved with science outreach from his days as an undergraduate doing everything from live demonstrations of decaying radioactive substances, to talks about the importance of radiation protection. In his spare time he really enjoys rock climbing, playing music, spending time with family, and solving puzzles.
