My name is Marc, and during the week, I have experienced many interesting things that have blown my mind - like the time I used the haptic robot. It was amazing how you could pretty much feel the things on the screen.
After that, I used a virtual reality headset and the haptic robot to feel and see in 3D a hip bone. That was my favourite thing I did.
On the Monday, I completed three projects using something called Arduino. This lets you make a code and circuit which can make lights flash, create a fortune teller or lock and unlock a box.
The next day, I brought in a robot called Cozmo and with my mentor Tijana we coded him to do something that would help people with dementia to remember to take their pills at a certain time of the day.
On Wednesday, I did another project on Arduino and I fixed the project with Cozmo.
The day after, I worked on one last project, and I explored the labs and the hospital which was very interesting.
On the last day, I took apart a PC to see what was inside and I 3D-printed a bone with my name engraved in it.
It was a very fun experience and if I had stayed for longer there would be many other things I would explore and have fun with. I think I will come again when I am older.
I would definitely recommend having work experience at Aspire Create!
