Mechatronics combines electrical and mechanical engineering. Participants explored the basics of circuits and spectrophometry by engineering measuring devices to quantify light transmission through water. In addition, they learned about the subjectivity of color from an artistic perspective and created their own mini-replica of the first scientific instrument used to measure atmospheric color—the cyanometer.
Creating a spectrophotometer, a light measuring device.
Our special guest, Carlo Caruso, a PhD Student at HIMB introduced how he uses mechatronics in his research.
Participants learned how to create circuits and write computer code using Raspberry Pi.
Participants learned the truth about color in today’s sci-art presentation.
