Planet Exploration Project Blog Post #3
Our team has aimed to create a transportation method capable of a 5-kilometre-long round trip on Ganymede, one of Jupiter’s moons. This vehicle must handle extreme conditions including temperatures as low as -180C, low gravity(a tenth of Earth’s), rocky terrain, and interference from the planet’s magnetic field affecting electronics. In this project, I oversaw the…

Robotics Project – Arduino Light Theremin
For my first robotics project this year in Fusion, I followed the project book tutorials and made Project 6: Light Theremin. A light theremin is an electronic musical instrument that produces sound without physical contact. It uses electricity to produce two circuits, with pitch generated by the oscillators For the code, I followed the instructions…

Python Project – Unit Converter
For my first Fusion project, I used Python to make a basic unit converter, taking metric or imperial units and converting them to the other one. This project required various skills in Python, as described below, like taking inputs from users and converting them into different values for the output. The user interface is relatively…
