Building the Future was an engineering challenge day hosted by Tau Beta Pi, the National Engineering Honor Society at ISU. One this day they hosted hosted several different elementary, middle and high school students, allowing them to “try-out” different types of engineering. The activities represent things that an engineer might do to help a town hit by a severe storm of tornado.
Activities- Wind Tunnel-Observe what a tornado or high winds can do to buildings. Learn what makes tornados and high winds so destructive.
Bridge Building- Storms have destroyed the bridge that connects two parts of the town. Construct a bridge to get emergency vehicles from one side of the river to the other. Minimize cost while maximizing strength
Wind Power-Storms have knocked out electricity utilities and infrastructure. Construct a wind turbine to provide light and electrical power.
Soil & Water Contamination-An underground storage tank has been damaged and a well has become polluted. Determine where the pollution goes. Chemicals have spilled on the ground. See how this affects the soil and water. Find out if an Artisan well can provide water without pumps.
Mr. Chesler, Mr. Peden and Ms. Clough took some of our 7th & 8th graders to this fun event and was able to do lots of hands on work and thinking. Weuve group won windmill generating electricity and Kylie Andrews group won the bridge building best structure. Great Job!
