The Design Challenge Showcase
7 DAYS!!!!!
The countdown begins for the Social Robot Design Challenge Showcase. Seven Puget Sound high school teams have been mentored by 15 UW students to prepare for this day. The teens have worked hard to prepare to show their robot design ideas on Saturday, March 24th. They’ve done research, built prototypes, and conducted tests using human centered design.
Showcasing their designs at UW
On March, 24th, seven local area schools will port their prototype designs all the way to UW to share them with local technology panelists from UW, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Panelists are excited to see how teens have designed a social robot to help them with stress..
