The IEEE Malta Section has arrived at the Malta Robotics Olympiad! Join us for a weekend packed with activities and discovery, from launching our very own rockets, seeing what makes a drone fly, to having robots from our flagship event: Robot Wars!! Have you got what it takes to crack the circuit and open the safe? How about lighting an entire city in the same way a robot is powered? Follow us in our grid and find out how a robot knows where it is. Or join us for a short demonstration to make liquids dance to music and find out what makes a smart home, smart.
These are some of the activities we have prepared for this year MRO. Find us on the eSkills Foundation Stand.
IEEE – Light the city: Soldering your way to a complete circuit to light our model city
IEEE – Crack the Circuit: Using boolean logic to power a circuit
IEEE – Robot Wars: Using a combination of components to build a robot to fight till termination
IEEE – Water Rocket; Ground control to Major YOU! Join us and learn how to make your own water rocket! Come and help us build and countdown as we launch it off the ground!
IEEE – Dancing Liquid; Bored of slime yet? We found the next best thing! Come and learn about our dancing liquid and how it gets its moves. We’ll even teach you how to make this at home!
IEEE- Magic Bucket; come see the wonderful work of forces in action! A simple bucket will make you believe in magic in a quick and simple experiment you can try at home!
IEEE – Where am I? Know more about the location through hands-on experiments.
The “Find it with Bluetooth!” activity explores the technology that makes indoor location possible and
takes a look at different ways of using Bluetooth beacons. Students work in teams to brainstorm recommendations for applying Bluetooth technology to meet the needs of a society and present their proposals to the group.
IEEE – Drone and Glider; This session focuses on helicopters and drones, how they fly, how they are used in different ways that help people and the environment. Teams of students explore helicopter flight; and design, build, and test their own simple rotor out of basic materials.
IEEE – Smart home automation.
