This year CEEO hosted another spooky haunted house filled with robots from Research Assistant Professor Ethan Danahy’s ES93 Simple Robotics Course that was co-taught by Aaron Johnson, Postdoctoral Research Associate. This course allows freshman to explore multiple disciplines of engineering before choosing their major and the one taught by professor Danahy uses LEGO Robotics EV3 kits which allows students to explore graphical programming, building, hands on learning, teamwork, and so much more.

For the CEEO Haunted House, students built different terrifying LEGO robotic exhibits that would scare those walking through the haunted house. There were seven projects in total and each featured different programming skills using motors and sensors to let those walking through the haunted house interact and be scared by the different projects. Take a walk through the haunted house through the video below.

Here are a few project images and descriptions below:
