Georgia Southern University will be hosting a 2-day Creator’s Workshop for high school students on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses this June.

Students will be introduced to the “field of mechanical engineering with challenging, hands-on activities testing force analysis with the human arm, programming robots, sustainability with a campus tour, and 3D computer modeling”. Aniruddha Mitra, PhD, PE, Professor of Mechanical Engineering will be coordinating the workshop.

There will be 4 modules:

• Lego robot programming and operation.
• Biomechanics experiment human arm model and engineering report.
• Computer modeling with 3D print out
• Sustainability with a brief campus tour

The workshops are free, but limited to 30 students each. The registration deadline for both is June 11.
