4-H Computer Science Project

One of the many extracurricular activities in which I am engaged is 4-H, a wonderful program run by Purdue in an effort to build interest in various fields. This year, I once again enrolled in the Computer Science project, and I had a blast!

I used my R2 as the basis of my project, which meant I had to write a book filled with all of my research, the steps I took when designing and building him, even the datasheets for all of the components on my PBCs! With all that information, the finished book was quite thick, so I also prepared a shortened version in the very front in case the judge did not have much time to spend reading the entire book.
​

The judge was interested in the various projects and asked every competitor a lot of relevant questions. When it was my turn, I booted up R2. R2 performed perfectly! I was able to share with the judge all of the important information pertaining to building an astromech. Once I had finished and he had asked his questions, he said he was speechless! He gave me a special merit with the possibility of Grand Champion! I will know tomorrow what I received on my project. 

Update: I received Grand Champion! It is going to the state competition!
