COVID-MAR: Teens build their own at-home EMAR robots

Team EMAR embraced the circumstances of COVID-19 over the summer, determined to bring EMAR to teens even remotely. In the study of C-MAR (COVID-EMAR), teens connected with EMAR through a website on personal smartphones and used materials found at home to build their own little EMAR robot.

Through lots of creativity and tripods, teens dressed EMAR up, hung EMAR on the wall, and even transformed EMAR into an adorable octopus!

As one of its core missions, Project EMAR strives to engineer and design the simplest, most accessible solution even in the face of great barriers like COVID-19.
