Mind-Controlled Catapults & More at USF Engineering Expo

0:00It's April 10th, Tampa Bay News, today starts now, AI-powered and ready. Imagine controlling a robotic catapult just by thinking about it. That's happening right now at the University of South Florida Engineering Expo in. Tampa, visitors slip on a brain computer interface headset and make the machine launch with their minds alone. This two-day event packs the campus with interactive tech demos for thousands of students and families. Other exhibits led folks test self-driving cars, drones tackling real issues and robotic systems built by students. There's even a jet engine roaring without moving parts, spitting fire and thunder, plus a chemistry show with gummy bears that explode and dry ice. Bubbling over. The Expo fires up kids, especially K-12 students, by linking engineering to everyday life, like treating drinking water or NASA space tech. Researchers crafted these hands-on spots to spark interest in STEM careers and show how innovators change the world.

1:01They expect over 3,000 young visitors to dive in. It's running April 10th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and April 11th from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., completely free. No tickets required and wide open.
