HAPPENING AT THE CEC IN THE HILL DISTRICT
It’s electric! Last month, we were joined by campers from The Center That Cares for Camp ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) led by Dr. Bayoumy and Dr. Dickerson from Pitt Swanson’s School of Engineering! Campers learned how to program microcontrollers to control their handmade electronic cars.
Great work, everyone!
