Engineering Camp Continues

Engineering Camp
Wednesday and Thursday

On Wednesday campers explored the next step in the Engineering Design Process - building a prototype.  The field of study for the day was Aeronautical Engineering so their prototypes were of paper airplanes.







Version 1
Version 2
Version 3

Today, campers explored Chemical Engineering.  As today was the testing step of the Engineering Design Process they tested processes used in chemistry and chemical plants.  They tested two types of flowers to determine which one had better capillary action. 




They also built a model of how chemicals would flow through a plant using the marble run.
