Arduino IV: DIY Robots

Tyler Kerr, M.S. received a B.A. in Geoscience from Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania in 2011, and an M.S. in Geology (Paleontology) from the University of Wyoming in 2017. His background in paleontology and interest in emergent technology led him to a career in 3D printing, 3D scanning, digital rendering and digitizing museum collections. Today, he manages the Innovation Wyrkshop makerspace, one of the largest academic makerspaces in the Mountain West. In addition to the Innovation Wyrkshop, he designed and currently oversees nine successfully operating makerspaces across Wyoming, making him a state-recognized authority on makerspace development and programming. For his work, he was a recipient of the 2018 Laramie Young Professionals 20 under 40 award, the University of Wyoming's 2020 Employee of the Quarter award, and the 2021 Employee of the Year award. His academic interests include 3D printing, digitization, and developing creative, gamified, out-of-the-box nerdy ways to engage communities and teach complex topics in meaningful ways. With over 11 years of experience as an outreach coordinator and academic educator in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM), he aims to prove that everyone and anyone-even paleontological fossils like him-can be a maker.Steven F. Barrett, Ph.D., P.E., received the B.S. Electronic Engineering Technology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1979, the M.E.E.E. from the University of Idaho at Moscow in 1986 and the Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in 1993.  He was formally an active duty faculty member at the United States Air Force Academy, Colorado, and is now vice provost of Undergraduate Education at the University of Wyoming and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering.  He is a member of IEEE (senior) and Tau Beta Pi (chief faculty advisor).  His research interests include image processing, computer-assisted laser surgery andembedded controller systems. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Wyoming and Colorado.  In 2004, he was named ``Wyoming Professor of the Year'' by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and in 2008 was the recipient of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Professional Engineers in Higher Education, Engineering Education Excellence Award.
