Strange Technology with Joe Valencic

This program was organized by Kendall Hudson, member #1206.


Joe joins us to talk about strange and unique adaptations of technologies to further scientific research and a few less-scientific applications. Joe’s work extends to miniature camera systems, drones capable of flying and submersing in water, and a robotic camel jockey!
