Helping Hand

Helping hand was a group project that was constructed in Tech Production Studio. Helping Hand was a mechanical arm that was supported by a harness on the wearer's back. The arm was capable of holding small and lightweight items the user.
Contributing Colleagues include: Michael Brewer, Kelly Kramer & Brendan Carlson. 
- Tech Production Studio

Brewer's Eye

Brewer's Eye is a device that is designed to be placed either on fermenting container or in a fermenting room. The device will record the temperature and humidity of the room or fermentation container because either of these factors can drastically alter the ending brew.
- Arduino Embedded Programming
