A Skittles sorting machine was one of many student projects displayed at
the Padnos College of Engineering and Computing's Project Day.
Students showcase engineering, computing projects
Apr 18, 2013
A machine that sorts Skittles by color, an iPhone app created for
the Waterfront Film Festival, and a machine that turns trash into
water system components for developing countries were among projects
that were part of Grand Valley's Project Day, April 18. It was hosted
by the Padnos College of
Engineering and Computing.
More than 120 students from schools in the Grand Rapids area
attended Project Day to see nearly 40 projects by Grand Valley
students and to see how engineering and computing is relevant to
everyday life.
Members of a local high school FIRST Robotics team demonstrated
their competitive robot at the event. The robot throws Frisbees at
targets and is managed by a remote control.
