**Please only Register STUDENTS**STEM·E Talks: Coding with Microsoft educates 3-12 grade students in coding with Microsoft professionals. This is a 4 hour workshop where students gain hands-on training taught by Microsoft coding experts.This workshop is for grades 3-12 grade students ONLY. While parents may supervise, the activities are geared towards students alone.STEM Saturday- Building Machines that Emulate Humans.The Hacking STEM Workshop gives participants the full lesson for Building Machines that Emulate Humans lesson that the first STEM Saturday was built from. This integrates life science with robotics while incorporating crucial 21st-century technical skills. Computer and data sciences, along with mechanical and electrical engineering, are integrated to provide an authentic learning experience. Emphasis is placed on the importance of combining science and technology to reflect the mechanics of the human body. This workshop exposes participants to the phenomenon of human body mechanics and helps them discover how it is influencing robot design. In some cases, this experience may start students on their journey of using these types of applications that they need as students today and will use as the workforce of tomorrow. In this hands-on workshop, students build a sensor equipped glove and a robotic finger from everyday objects including cardboard and straws to understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the human hand. Then, they control the robotic finger with the sensor equipped glove and conduct trials visualizing data in Excel to generate new ideas for improving its performance. During the workshop, participants will:  Build a flex sensor out of everyday objects and construct a sensorized finger to control the robotic hand  Study the anatomy and biomechanics of the human hand and build a model robotic hand  Analyze sensor data in Excel to test and modify the robotic hand At the end of the camp, participants will take home the sensorized glove and robotic hand that they built during the camp (excluding the microcontroller)
