At one station, children pretend to be the robot anddeliver medicine themselves, whereas at the other stations, they provide instructions (i.e., code)to the robot to deliver medicine. The exhibit is designed to mainly promote CT as a problem-solving process, and emphasizes three CT competencies: Problem Decomposition, Algorithmsand Procedures and Debugging/Troubleshooting.

The tower was constructed perthe 2018 Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) Seismic Design Competition rulesand guidelines defining the design details and the two ground motions applied. As the studentsdid not plan to enter into the EERI SDC, they designed beyond the guideline restrictions to testthe use of seismic isolators. The tower was experimentally tested using the Shake Table II byQuanser available at SFSU with and without isolators.
