LEGO WeDo Mechatronics

Mechatronics involves the use of mechanical engineering and electronics to produce a working prototype.

I helped implement a mechatronics project that combined Scratch, LEGO WeDo kits, and digital fabricators. Participating students learned that they were engineers by constructing automata with simple mechanisms that performed a function.

The video introduces the concept of mechatronics in the context of the classroom project.
