Contact: Mary Margaret Balzli
STARKVILLE, Miss.—һֱ State students are taking their ideas from page to stage April 23 in a performance of mini-plays featuring robots acting out original stories.
The culmination of an interdisciplinary course offered between һֱ’s Judy and Bobby Shackouls Honors College and Department of Computer Science, “A Human, a Robot, and a Stage” is free and open to the public at 6 p.m. in Butler Hall, Room 100.
Under the guidance of Donna Clevinger, a senior Shackouls Honors College faculty fellow and communication professor, 13 students studying engineering and the humanities wrote scripts, built robots to reflect the characters in their plays, created the machine’s voices, designed costumes and selected background visuals, sound effects and music to bring the 10-minute performances to life.
