Computer Science 426: Senior Projects in Computer Science Spring 2023 at the University of Nevada, Reno

We are team 29 and our project name is FORE: Fundamentals of Robotics Education. Our team consists of Jenavieve Layosa, Ilana Macy, Henry Dalton, and Andrew DeBolt.

This about page is different that the one that will end up in the final version of our project. Since our website is not currently hosted we decided to use github pages to create this assignment with the knowledge that it will later change.

Instructors: Vinh Le, Devrin Lee, Sara Davis

External Advisors: Hossein Jamali - Graduate Student Advisor working on A Student-Centered Personalized Learning Framework to Advance Undergraduate

Robotics Education. NSF, Federal. Award #DUE-2142360

Our project is an educational website called FORE for Fundamentals Of Robotics Education; an interactive learning website designed to teach robotics programming fundamentals using ROS to students at a high school to undergraduate level. The goal is to make robotics education more accessible by allowing people to learn robotics without needing a robot itself. We are assuming that these students have a very basic understanding of programming in general before beginning the course. Towards achieving that goal we have made multiple parts of the project separately and now are going to work to combine them. We have a flask and MySQL database element, a React frontend element, and a ROS simulation and visualization element.
