Virtual STEM Chat: Building Neuroprosthetic Bionic Arms
OnlineFor many children with limb difference, it can be very difficult to receive a bionic arm. At Limbitless, we blend art and engineering to build custom bionic arms inspired by superheroes, that activate when you “flex” your muscles. Join Dr. Manero, Director of Limbitless Solutions at UCF, to learn more about the engineering behind behind building bionic arms! RSVP today ...

Virtual STEM Chat: Electroencephalography (EEG)
OnlineFor ~100 years now, people have been recording the electrical signals on the scalp, also known as electroencephalography or EEG, to try to understand how our brain works and to try to read our minds. Despite its allure, EEG is literally quite “messy” and also easily contaminated by “noise,” which masks the brain signals. In this talk, Dr. Huang will ...

Virtual STEM Chat: Mech. & Material Response under Extreme Aerospace Environments
OnlineAir and space vehicles are exposed to some of the most extreme environments with drastically changing temperatures, high loads and particle impact. Structural integrity for applications in propulsion, hypersonics and space can be achieved by first capturing in-situ mechanical response of materials under replicated extreme environments to understand stress and damage mechanisms. The findings from such unique measurements serve to ...
