Upcoming Events and News

The Cool Science Festival is being held at UCCS on the 14th October, Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:30 pm.  IEEE student members are needed to explain and demo experiments.  A calendar of events can be found here.  More details of where the CTU booth is forthcoming.

Here are some photos by CTU IEEE student members preparing and participating at a Cool Science Event held at Colorado College during April 2017.

IEEE Meeting, 23 Oct 2015, Room 258, 5 pm

In preparation for Boo at CTU scheduled for 30 Oct 2015 (Friday) there will be an IEEE Meeting, 23 Oct 2015 (Friday), Room 258, 5 pm - 7pm.

Included in our plans are:

1.  Arduino-based Skull follower which tracks a person's movement.
2.  Microsoft Kinect for Interactive Animation
3.  Algodoo software for Interactive Physics demonstrations with a Halloween theme.
4.  RC control of a Halloween skull.
5.  Lego Mindstorms with Ultrasonic Sensors and Not-Too-Scary Halloween Pumpkins.
6.  Ozobots with multi-color light sensing for line following applications and more interactive activity.

The above activities are designed for fun while encouraging kids and young adults to look into engineering and other technical disciplines.

We sure can use some help with these activities.   A simple description and demos of how to work these activities will be given in this upcoming meeting on Friday, 23 Oct.

See you there,
Professor Santiago and Robert Sampson (IEEE CTU Student President)
