Description
Designing for children presented a fun challenge that forced me to make many user-centered considerations, such as the ergonomic height of the joystick on the remote control. For my first-year engineering class at Northeastern (GE1502), my team and I built an interactive robot game for the Boston Children's Museum in Spring 2024. I worked on robot assembly and programmed all motor and RF receiver controls.
The project integrated skills from AutoCAD drafting, SolidWorks modeling, and embedded programming while emphasizing user testing and design iteration. On exhibition day at the museum, I provided technical support to ensure smooth operation.
