The Printwhisperer:
Back to school week 4: Find sponsors.
One of my personal favorite projects is a robotics competition that goes all the way to the national level called First Robotics. The spearhead is Dean Kaman the guy who invented the Segway. Anyways there are a ton of great resources on First’s website to help to find money for projects like this.
http://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/frc/start-a-team
There are also Mentoring guides for the adults to look at. Great info on helping find you the sponsors you might need if you need to reach outside of the schools budget to buy a 3D printer.
Spelunking in the Tech Cave with Mike:
A tutorial on VR FOV - Use Virtual “Whiteboard” to illustrate how FOV is obtained. - https://vr-lens-lab.com/field-of-view-for-virtual-reality-headsets/
Show off “VR Sun Temple” for Gear VR and Google VR and why Google VR is the better of two platforms in the long run.
