ENGINEERING DESIGN EXPERIENCE

Ninth graders presented their final products of the Engineering Design Experience Wednesday, June 13, before students and a review panel of teachers.

All teams approached the 3 meter track with hopes of covering the distance in less than 3 seconds.
None succeeded.

For a month students worked in science class on the Engineering Design Experience (sponsored by World in Motion and SAE). Working in teams they collected consumer information and learned about gears in order to design and build a motorized vehicle that would appeal to girls 6 - 10 years of age. Although no team met the speed goal, each learned much about design, teamwork, perseverance and dipomacy. I have plans to expand the project next year.
