CreativeMornings is the world’s largest face-to-face creative community. One Friday morning per month, CM features a talk from a creative professional – free and open to the public!
Andrea is captain of Team Witch Doctor on Discovery Channel’s BattleBots. She has 20 years of experience in combat robotics, winning a number of national titles. Andrea recently presented at the Kennedy Space Center on designing for damage and redundancy, and has spoken on discussion panels for a variety of audiences. She is also co-founder of MakeMIA Makerspace and a strong proponent of the Maker movement.
Andrea most recently worked in research and development at Zimmer Biomet, where she has focused on upper extremity trauma for the past 11 years and has been awarded several utility patents. Andrea received her BS and MS in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Miami.
This month’s talk is accompanied by a special exhibition at the Gallery in the venue, followed by a live robotics competition to give participants a first-hand experience of the combat robotics sport! Children and families are welcome to this talk!
