A
collaborative group of researchers from MIT, Boston University, and the
University of Delaware is organizing an outreach event for middle and high
school students (primarily to support and encourage female/URM students in
STEM) on Microrobotics and Synthetic Biology. Students will learn how concepts of
robotics can foster the development of new biological systems and applications.
Prof. Sambeeta Das will introduce the students to microrobotics, and then Dr.
Rashmi Mohanty will discuss the importance of microrobotics in biological
applications. Finally, students will receive hands-on experience in controlling
magnetically driven microrobots and will guide the microrobots in biological
systems.
We
will organize the event in two sessions on Saturday, March 9: the Morning
session (10-11:30 am) and the afternoon session (1-2:30 pm). The
event will take place at 500 Technology Square (behind Area 4), MIT NE47-189,
Cambridge, MA.
