Session 1

Nathaniel Horn 

Dive into the world of epoxy resin. We will cover the basics of epoxy resin such as selecting, calculating amounts, how to prepare, mixing, selecting/building a mold, and finishing for resin projects. Participants will be able to mix and pour a small epoxy piece of wall décor

This is a DOUBLE LENGTH PRESENTATION and will continue into session 2.

Nicholas Carson,  Kyle Matura  

Learn how to set up a small engine repair course in your school's shop. We will cover curriculum, potential for student certifications in industry, and sourcing tools, and materials in an inexpensive manner. Learn all the ways this course can benefit your students and your school district.

Enhance your sketching ability while reinforcing key features of pictorial and working drawings. Sketch along with the presenter to develop ideas and communicate objects in isometric, oblique, perspective, and exploded view formats. Then review the concepts of working drawings, through rapid visualization of orthographic, section, detail, auxiliary, and development views, which help students prepare for CAD input. This is a fast-paced, hands-on experience in rapid visualization. Participants will be provided with pencils, a guided sketchbook, and an ebook pdf for future use. This presentation has limited seating.

Teaching concepts of design, material processing, and mechanisms introduces students to real world engineering experiences. This presentation will walk through the team project of constructing a Strandbeest mechanism inspired by the work of Theo Jansen. Participants will leave with resources to bring this hands-on experience back to their classrooms.

Electric planes. Towns powered by waterfalls. Offshore wind farms. This isn’t the far-off future of clean energy, it's what’s happening right now in New York State.

Join us for an event highlighting content from Roadtrip Nation’s newly released docuseries, “Empowered State,” made possible by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The series follows three young adults (or “roadtrippers”) as they explore New York State in search of clean energy career opportunities. Attendees will leave the conversation inspired by real stories and equipped with the guidance and tools necessary to help New Yorkers power their own clean energy careers to transform the future.

This presentation will repeat in session 2 - 10:15-11:00 in room 191 Wilber (Polymer Classroom)

Mayank Giri, Stephen Simpson, Starlord Kalkowsky    

Senior Year Capstone Presentation, skillfully delivered by students representing the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The session will include participation of three distinct groups, each presenting their Capstone projects comprehensively and addressing questions from the audience.

The Presentations will showcase:

1)Smart Cereal Dispenser

2)Paintball Loader Controller

3)Modular Synthesizer 

This is a DOUBLE LENGTH PRESENTATION and will continue into session 2.

Dustin Burdick     

Learn how to build and program your own robotic hand that can play Rock-Paper-Scissors with your students. Robotics and rapid prototyping are combined to build an arduino controllable 3d printed hand for under 40 dollars, and plans to build a cheaper version for your classroom will be provided. This presentation will include print files, wiring, and code for a randomized rock-paper-scissors game and wired one-to-one, student hand to 3d printed hand control.

This presentation will also showcase new robotic and 3d printed projects, the classic R2D2, and the new in-progress Wall-E robot. There will also be an updated 3d printing and post-processing learning segment.

Drone technology is only beginning to take off. With advances within delivery, real estate, criminal justice, photography and many more industries, drones are becoming popular in technology education.

This workshop will introduce the many drone options available on the market today from out-of-the-box models to building your own. Comparison categories of cost, safety, sturdiness, and user experience will be reviewed, along with projects and activities you can complete at your own school. We will also briefly discuss legality and the FAA Part 107 Exam. After the short presentation, participants will have the opportunity to operate a TELLO drone using different systems including Chromebook™ connection, block coding, smart devices and remote control. 

This is a DOUBLE LENGTH PRESENTATION and will continue into session 2.
