Summary
This team’s project is a K-12 STEM museum exhibit to showcase the principle of electromagnetism. To demonstrate this principle, this team constructed a track with electromagnetic coils to accelerate a steel ball based on a speed input and the triggering of optical sensors along the track. The system has a control interface in which settings are selected and where sensor data will be displayed. Included in the system is an internet communication which tracks and interprets the system data for logging and debugging purposes.
