TEAM HEAR ME: CREATE LAB

The CREATE Lab's mission is to design, create, and disseminate robotic curricula and technologies that enable diverse peoples to make significant civic contributions to our quality of life. The CREATE Lab develops numerous projects that utilize various technologies to educate and reach out to our communities. All of the projects at the CREATE Lab are grant funded by supporting local foundations. Projects include Charge Car, Gigapan and Robot Diaries. The CREATE Lab, is run by Director, Illah Nourbakhsh, Professor of Robotics at Carnegie Mellon.

Hear Me is the latest project to be produced and directed through the CREATE Lab. Hear Me is its own unique endeavor to the Lab being a project created, designed and piloted from the ground up.

The CREATE Lab believes the Hear Me system has the ability to achieve a large impact both regionally and nationally on behalf of the kids in our communities and beyond.
