It is a local makerspace involving all STEM disciplines by few volunteers (Rob Mackie\, Dr. Linda D. Whipker and others) with a visio n to improve the local technology gap in the community for future generati ons.\n\nPlease refer to the following site for more information about Forg e Initiative.\n\nhttp://theforgeinitiative.org/\n\nForge has been specific ally effective in creating makers out of high school students. It is an us ual scene at Forge to see high school students working later in the evenin gs on their hands on projects involving general mechatronics and robotics hobby and/or competition projects – with greatest degree of focus and pa ssion.\n\nDuring our March IEEE R&A event\, the members of team PyroTech\, FRC 3459\, high school student members of the Forge Initiative who have w orked with IEEE on the humanoid Robot project would present their work fro m current year's competition build season.\n\nIEEE section members at the meeting can expect to learn about current year's competition and see a dem o of the team's backup robot (the primary robot is already sealed for comp etition). Next generation makers from Forge Initiative will design and imp lementation architecture of the robot followed by a open Q&A session.\n\nF rom IEEE R&A\, we are extending our warm invitation and wish our best for these highly motivated team of high school students. We would like rest of the students\, hobbyists\, academia\, professionals and seniors to be ins pired by the positive skillset of the next generation makers.\n\nAgenda: \ n6:20-7:00pm Networking with pizza and soda\n\nThe times below are approxi mate and are given just as a guideline:\n\n7:00-7:10pm News and announceme nts\n\n7:10-7:50pm Forge Initiative Next Generation Makers involving high school students will describe the design and implementation of their curre nt year's competition build season robot project using the team's R&A proj ects.\n\n7:50-8:00pm Brief Q/A from IEEE students\, hobbyists\, profession als and seniors\n\n8:00-8:30pm Show-n-Tell (if interested\, bring out your projects to show to other members)\n\nRoom: 1007\, Bldg: Engineering Buil ding 1 (EB1)\, 911 Partners Way\, Raleigh\, North Carolina\, United States \, 27606 LOCATION:Room: 1007\, Bldg: Engineering Building 1 (EB1)\, 911 Partners Way \, Raleigh\, North Carolina\, United States\, 27606 ORGANIZER:mbalasu@ncsu.edu SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Forge Initiative - Robotic Project Walkthrough from Next Generation Makers(Team PyroTech\, FRC 3459) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/168840 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Forge Initiative is a non-profit o rganization which has taken impressive measures towards its actual objecti ves &ndash\; forging communities for all ages to collaboratively explore\, learn and lead using technology and leadership.&nbsp\; It is a local make rspace involving all STEM disciplines by few volunteers (Rob Mackie\, Dr. Linda D.
