SUMO BOT COMPETITION Fuad Abdallah, August 23, 2021. This week had a very exciting start with a sumo bot competition. The sumo bot competition is a sport in which two robots attempt to push each other out of a circle. We were assigned to create a sumo bot for this competition. I started creating my sumo bot at home this past weekend by writing the program for the sumo bot and created a prototype. I tested it each time I updated my program. It was such a fun process because I even created my own ring at home to test it. I updated my program multiple times while testing it until I got what I intended, then I started designing…
Keep going!!
KEEP GOING…!!! Maximilian Donath Mkenda. August 16, 2021. Joining the Lemelson Internship is a lot more fun than I thought it would be in the best way possible. So far, I have already gained many skills, and I have learned more about different things used in everyday activities such as laser cutting, 3D printing, soldering, Arduino programming and the diagnosis of various equipment. As for expectations for the rest of my internship, I am thrilled to learn more every day and have been working with very talented people from whom I know I will learn more. This internship has given me even more real-world experience than I had before. It has also given me the chance to learn more about…

A Busy week
A Busy week Hindu Katowa, It has been a very busy and tough week with sleepless nights.We are running out of time.So we are supposed to work as much as we can so we can finish our final prototypes and prepare ourselves for the next week’s final projects presentations.So our team is working on the Automatic Chest Compressor. But before we made a final prototype we made two prototypes which were piston and gear based chest compressors.And the processes were as follow: We started on making piston based prototype in which we 3D printed the piston and circulating rods Then we cut all remaining parts on a laser cutter. After that we assembled the parts and completed our first…
Soldering is the core.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) SOLDERING By Joseph, Soldering involves the process in which to or more metal components are joined together by melting and then flowing a filler metal into the joint-the filler metal having a relatively low melting point. In electronic components we use mostly solder wire. LS
FINAL PRESENTATION AND DINE
FINAL PRESENTATION It was the last week of our ipt period we were preparing for the final presentation of our final prototypes . also we were finalizing our final prototypes ready for presentation. At that day madam Julia organized camera men so they can come and shoot a video of us doing our final presentation. It was a very stressing day because at my side am not very confident to present infront of a camera. So the presentation started and it went great thanks to madam Julia then after that we were continuing to finalize our side projects while our fellow students were presenting . final preparation Then after the presentation was over , we started cleaning up the studio…
REVISIT TO THE DIT DESIGN STUDIO
REVISIT TO THE DIT DESIGN STUDIO Bwere, Daniel E. September 27th, 2020. February 2020 So here I am prepping with my friends for the Lemelson Engineering Internship interview come summer 2020. I’m just in my headspace all-reaching for an internship position abroad, preferably at Rice University in the United States. I got through with an internship position at Malawi. That’s still great considering the need for exposure I long for from abroad and I’ve never been abroad-at least in my grown-up awareness. Here comes, Corona and stuck we are wherever we are. The insecurities and chaos brought about by the pandemic was and still is something none can fathom. Thus, internships have to be conducted virtually. Unfortunately, at our…
