Artonomy Project 2015

Interactive Robotic Flower Wall - Cornell Library Markham 

The 2015 Artonomy Project involved teams of students from eleven different secondary schools. Visual Arts students, Computer Programming students and Robotics Engineering students were involved in the design and creation of the project. Through the Visual Arts our team of staff and student sought to make the Board’s new three priorities of: Mental Health, Mathematics and Modern Learning visible through the design and creation of an interactive wall. The interactive wall was designed to for the Cornell Public Library in Markham where it remained on display for two months following the Quest conference.
