Aaron Artrip is a Research Associate for CEISMC (Center of Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing) at Georgia Institute of Technology as part of the GoSTEAM Project. His creative interests lie in the Arts (visual art and music) integration into STEM projects and curriculums. Aarons’ projects include drawing robots, mechanical musical instruments, math visualization projects and GoSTEAM website documentation.

Session description

Join Research Associate Aaron Artrip as he walks you through coding using Make:Code and Micro-bits microcontrollers. This workshop will teach you to build/code and control servo motors to create an unruly drawing robot using Variables, Functions, and Math concepts to create custom mechanized works of art!

Purpose & objective

Engaging Computer Science and Visual Arts has its challenges.

Make:code is a great online tool teachers can use to engage Computer Science Principles. Includes the basic like Variables, Loops, and Functions, as well as more advanced features like Serial Data and Wireless Communication. Make:code also has a TON of examples for students to load up on their browser. Lastly, it has a virtual Micro:bit embedded into the web-based coding platform, so you don't even need a physical Micro:bit to get started!
