Embark on an exciting journey into the realm of puppetry and technology with our "Puppet Performer" project! This creative endeavor merges the enchanting world of puppet shows with the innovative capabilities of the NeuroMaker Hand 2.0 and BioSensor Kit. Students will work in teams to design and animate glove puppets, using software programming and flex sensors to bring their characters to life. Through this project, students will explore the mechanics of gesture control, develop engineering skills, and reinterpret classic literature in a fun and educational performance. Perfect for middle school students, this project offers a hands-on experience at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and engineering.
Project Duration: 150 Minutes
Group: 2-3 students per team
