Robot Disco Dance Party
Thursday, July 28, 2022 - 3:30 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: Aralia_Marula
Can your robot do the mashed potato, can your robot do the twist? If not get ready to learn. Like a well-choreographed dance, there will be multiple steps. We will begin with making the robots move, moonwalk, and groove. We will turn classic dance moves and our own new dance moves into functions. Afterward, we will incorporate colorful lights and fun music to create an atmosphere. In the end, there will be free time to mix and match your dance move functions to create your own custom series of moves and have one big disco.
