The bombings at the Boston Marathon were a human tragedy, with the deaths, hundreds physically injured, thousands psychologically affected, and an entire metropolitan area disrupted. They also served to illustrate the duality of technology.
Educational and public participants will design a project or product for medical simulation (training) or a prototype medical device that performs a useful medical function and demonstrates technical abilities. The optional microMedic Application Idea Kit is an idea generator, and may be useful for creating the contest submittal. Parallax will host the microMedic discussion forum where participants may ask questions and share progress on their projects. Brought to you by U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), Carnegie Mellon Entertainment Technology Center, and Parallax Inc. Finished applications will be due July 31, 2013.
Our good friends at Jameco just launched their Coaster Bot II: Robot Design Contest! You have to design a robot using a coaster (CD or DVD) as the development platform, or main body component. From there, anything goes. Design your CoasterBot with any function, shape or size. It may fly across the sky, swim under water or scale a mountain. It may shoot jelly beans, tie your shoes or peel potatoes. Your design will get awarded for creativity! Sounds like fun! Are you going to enter?
