Andre The Giant Competes at First Robotics

Submitted by amy.ewell on

For three days each spring, crowds gather at the Maverick Center in West Valley to watch an event unlike any other. Their interest? Forty-two industrial-grade robots, the product of three months of hard work from High School students around the country (and even the world). An excited hum runs through the crowd, backed by the symphony of power tools in the distance. After an enthusiastic countdown led by an energetic emcee, six robots suddenly spring into autonomous action collecting 9-inch tennis balls, aligning to a target, and shooting their collected cargo into a tiered series of four-foot-wide baskets. Some hopeful human players even attempt a half-court-equivalent basket of their own from the sidelines.

Blood Spatter Lab

Submitted by shelley.heaton on

Students in Medical Forensics had a great time learning about blood spatter and then creating their own blood spatter.   

Students picked two types of spatter that they wanted to create.  Students had to figure out what instruments they would need to make the spatter look realistic.

The creative minds of these students is awesome.  In the second part of the lab students from another class had to decipher the blood spatter created.  Students had to figure out the angle of impact, lines of convergence, direction blood was traveling, and what type of blood spatter was present. 

Students had a great time making and analyzing  blood spatter.
