Thank You to Those That Helped Us On Our Journey
Gardroid would like to thank the organizations and people that helped us
in our endeavor, we couldn't have done it without you.
UC Davis Engineering Student Startup Center
The Engineering Student Startup Center (ESSC) at UC Davis
is an on-campus space where UC Davis students can prototype ideas
and collaborate on technology ventures.
During the early stages of our project, the ESSC guided our team in learning
how to use a 3D printer, and gave us free access to their printers so that we could
develope a prototype.
UC Davis Engineering Fabrication Lab
The Engineering Fabrication Laboratory (EFL) is a facility
within the College of Engineering of UC Davis that provides
students opportunities to learn and practice hands-on manufacturing
and fabrication techniques in a safe, supervised environment.
After developing our own 3D models for the Gardroid's frame, the EFL
gave our team training and access to their high-end 3D printers so
that we could print output the final version of our frame.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) is an American technology company
that designs and manufactures semiconductors, which it sells to
electronics designers and manufacturers globally. Headquartered
in Dallas, Texas, United States, TI is one of the top ten semiconductor
companies worldwide.
As an active supporter of STEM education, TI sponsors the EE-Emerge program
at UC Davis. All our work was made possible with funding from TI, and throughout
the design process we were able to prototype our circuitry and programs using
TI MSP430 microcontrollers.
