Explorations at Allegheny

baseplate.org serves as a rallying point for projects Computing students explore at Allegheny College. You could say it serves as a research group homepage for students working with Prof. Matthew Jadud, but that might be saying a bit much.

You can explore by Project or by the People involved.

Current Projects

We have two awesome projects running at the moment.

Allegheny's RepStrap

Maja Sweeny '09 led our RepStrap build, and will hopefully be visiting us this summer to play with it and print some really cool stuff.

Parallel Processing on the Arduino

Will Plaut '10 is learning about Processing and the Arduino this summer, and will be looking at porting the Transterpreter to this open platform (starting with the Arduino Mega).

Studying Novice Programmers

Currently we're looking for students interested in the intersection of Psychology, Education, and Computer Science who want to dig into the behavior of novice programmers.
