 Whenever I was a kid I went to Science Central in Fort Wayne and it was really exciting to me because I got to see all these really cool exhibits and that's what initially got me interested in technology. So that's important to me to be able to pass that on to kids nowadays. Hello my name is Trey Shishler. I am the team tech lead for the Imagination Station Epics team. There's eight lasers per side and they shoot into eight corresponding photo diodes and they'll send a signal to a microcontroller and then that microcontroller converts that into a real-time MIDI command which sends it to an audio chip which decodes that and turns that into audio. My favorite part was just knowing that it was going into the community and that it could be delivered to children that would play with it. We are going to be taking it down doing a physical delivery, helping them set it up in the location they want it including throwing in all the weights and everything in order to stabilize it, sealing up everything. We'll do a little bit of hands-on instruction in terms of showing the staff if you need to do this to it here's how you go through it. I really enjoy learning about like human-centered design and like knowing that like we're working with a partner so like it's not always like what we think is like best for the harpets whatever it's like they need for the museum. That means that they have to when they're designing everything they have to account for it being abused well beyond any way that they would have normally thought to use it and that is some a design constraint that you rarely ever will get on any kind of class-based project because they're always geared towards demonstrating to an instructor who's going to be using it in a way that you wouldn't actually kind of intended to work and so it's a just a very different design experience that factors in kind of the real-world dynamics of when you ever you're building something for a customer. Yeah I definitely would recommend Epic's. It's a really cool experience to get you know hands-on learning. I've enjoyed produced so much more as a whole because I was able to use my knowledge that I was gaining in classes a lot more practically so that was a big help and it's just a lot of fun to be able to work on something I'm passionate about.
