WEEK 2! Monday, July 12: Mechanics and Robotics

Despite feeling tired after the HOT weekend, the research teams jumped right back into the challenges of constructing machines and controlling robots. 

They built a robotic arm, various small robots, a windmill, a boat, and more. 





The challenge was to push as many ping pong ball out of a maze constructed by Garci, which was very difficult and exciting for the young scientists. Here are some short videos:

Last but not least, here is our magician´s apprentice Fabio from Magic Tricks:
