Girl Scouts Engineering Week

February 25, 2022

The CAAT is pleased to host the Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM) Engineering Day. Junior, cadette, and senior girl scouts and parents are invited to participate in the event at Macomb Community College's South Campus. Girls in 4^th-12^th grade will learn about the exciting world of robotics - from designing to building and showcasing robots. Women from various engineering fields serve as mentors and team leaders.

Girl Scouts receive hands-on experience to:

• Stretch their science and technological skills
• Focus on problem-solving, innovation, and teamwork

Project Descriptions

TI-Innovator Rover Robotic Vehicle

Girl Scouts will experiment with coding and the TI-InnovatorTM Rover robotic vehicle while earning the Coding for Good, Badge 1: Coding Basics. The challenge includes parallel parking, watch out for Rover the dog, and navigating a series of mazes. Girls will be writing their own programs within 10 minutes.

The Ultimate Robot Arm Tank Challenge

Join the Center for Advanced Automotive Technology to explore Engineering and the Engineering process through coding the Makeblock Ultimate 2.0. Engineering challenges will be based upon the Robot Arm Tank. Ultimate 2.0 is a 10-in-1 educational robot kit based on Arduino Mega solution that has 550+ mechanical parts and electronic modules that allows you to build 10+ models from one set. Ultimate 2.0 features advanced motion control that can drive multiple motors and servos at the same time.

DAPCEP STEM Week

April 25-29, 2022

First Ever STEM Week by the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program

The CAAT offered a workshop where students learned to program and operate an MBot robot. The workshop was offered 3 times during the event, with each workshop having about 30 participants.

A total of 960 students participated in the event. Leaders of the participating schools expressed significant appreciation and deemed the event highly successful. In fact, participant evaluations revealed that students learned quite a bit about the many different career opportunities that are available in the STEM fields.

In addition to Macomb Community College, other organizations participating in the week-long event included General Motors, Bosch, Meritor, Cooper Standard, Ruby & Associates and many other major employers in the Detroit Area.
