I can’t believe this internship is already almost over! We still have so much work to do, but I think we can finish strong! Last week, we filtered the signal from our pressure sensor which makes the noise from cell phones and other electronic devices much more...
This week has been really fun! We got our pulse sensor early on, but we decided not to use it. It was too sensitive to movement but also had to be placed accurately on the skin in order to get a reading, so it would have been difficult if not impossible to get an...
Even though this week was short because of the Fourth of July, we made a lot of progress! We consolidated our circuit for the blood pressure monitor onto one bread board, which was more challenging than we anticipated. We spent all of Monday and part of Tuesday...
Last week, my team made a lot of progress on our blood pressure monitor device! First, we finished up learning arduino background. This is definitely the coolest circuit I made: We jumped back into the design process by completing Pugh Screening and Pugh Scoring...
The start of the week was a little rocky. On Monday, we finished up all the calibration of the 3D printers and continued to print fun little trinkets. But on Tuesday, we had a very short day thanks to Tropical Storm Bill. We were assigned our teams for the first...
It’s been a really great week, focused on 3D printing! I’ve learned a lot and had a lot of fun getting to know the students from Malawi better. For fun last weekend, we got to go to Dr. Wettergreen’s summer barbecue together. We got to sit, talk, and...
As my first week of my SEED Internship comes to a close, I am only more excited to get to apply what I’ve learned to projects for the rest of the summer. Throughout this week, my peers and I have learned to use lots of big machines and some really useful...
