‘Curiosity: Drilling into Mars’ Past’ at WKU’s Hardin Planetarium

Location: Hardin Planetarium
Time: All Day

The show uses the planetarium’s new digital technology to move through the solar system and look at new evidence from the Mars Science Laboratory rover (“Curiosity”) that, in the distance past, Mars had a habitat conducive to life. Combining full dome videos, the simulation potential of the new digital projector, amazing images shot right on Mars and stirring music, the 45-minute show is suitable for all ages.

Show times are 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and 2 p.m. Sundays through May 12. Admission is free. Note that the show will begin on time, with no late entrance permitted. The Hardin Planetarium is located at the corner of College Heights Boulevard and State Street.

Webinar: Modeling Logic for Robot Control

Time: 8:00am - 9:00am

Also at 1 p.m.

In this webinar, you will learn how to model control logic and run it on hardware. After an initial introduction to state machines, we will build logic to control the various modes of operation of a robot. Through an example, you will see an easy way to create, simulate and animate mode logic using Stateflow. You will then see how to run and try out your design on low-cost target hardware, such as Arduino®, LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT, and Raspberry Pi without any programming.

About the Presenter: Siddharth Sharma works in the technical marketing group for Stateflow at the MathWorks. Before joining the MathWorks, he was in software development and has a background in mechanical engineering.
