PRESENTATION OUTLINE
While electricity has been around forever, Greek philosopher Thales of Miletos observed sparks made from rubbing amber rods against cats' fur. One famous electrical engineer was Benjamin Franklin who proved the connection between lightning and electricity.

Today some electrical engineers design circuit boards, build and maintain generators, build towers and transmission lines, and build dashboards in cars.

Electrical engineering has a large impact on society. Robots are now "taking over the world." This means they are stealing jobs because a robot is better than a human most of the time when performing tasks such as working in a factory or driving a truck or taxi.

This relates to me because I enjoy building things and I find using mathematical calculations and logic to manipulate objects and watch them do what I want them to do.

To demonstrate what I have learned about electrical engineering I added a distance sensor to the bot and programmed it to add a cool feature of knowing when something is in front of it. I used the coding software Parallax to code this robot.

This project relates to math and science:
Math- I used calculations to find out how far a wheel had to go to make a 45 degree turn (circumference)
Science- through use of physics, friction, and high frequency sound waves.
