ETC Students Help Bring Magic to Castle of Miracles

www.cmu.edu/news: An aging court jester is performing new tricks for kids who need a laugh, thanks to students at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center. At Give Kids the World, a nonprofit Florida resort for children with life-threatening illnesses, Tom Foolery was a puppet who held court in the resort's Castle of Miracles. Operating the puppet required a dangerous climb to the castle's perch. Today, he's an animatronic figure that can be operated safely from the ground with the push of a button.
