Projects

  • Christmas Tree

    During the Christmas season UAT put a Christmas tree in the commons area which is where all of the computers are located, where it is visible throughout most of the schools ground floor. A group of students modified the Christmas tree to be accessible from the internet using a BASIC Stamp and a PINK. After the modification the Christmas tree was able to be turned on or off from the web.

  • LED Whiteboard

    The idea was brought up at UAT to have a backlit 'whiteboard' which would allow students to post their ideas, drawings and other thoughts. The project was eventually changed so that it would be LED backlit in a grid. We used blue LED's in a 8 by 26 grid. We then also wrote the code for an SX28 microprocessor to have the LED wall play the game of life.

  • Near Space

    Professor Ryan Clarke had seen a presentation by L. Paul Verhage at Parallax about Near Space balloons. Ryan had always wanted to launch a near space balloon and created a special topics class at UAT to do so. He selected 15 students to be part of the class, with the goal of getting a payload of 12 pounds up to at least 90,000 ft. It was a great success, our first balloon hit 92,999 ft. Our second balloon was successfully launched and retrieved!
