Hands-on workshops for Eureka!
July 2023Eureka! is Girls Inc.’s STEM education program which enrolls a new cohort of rising eighth graders each year and continues through their senior year of high school. We held two hands-on workshops focused on haptics, where the students were able to interact with the Hapkit, Phantom Omni, and our newest educational haptic device called the H3Kit (hand-held haptic kit).
