    Intro to Engineering4 - 6Stanford8Sunday, July 28, 2024Friday, August 2, 2024

    Intro to Engineering Course Description:

    In Intro to Engineering, students will learn the basic principles of engineering design and use this process to solve a variety of build challenges, which must survive performance trials and unexpected obstacles along the way Students will work collaboratively with one another and our amazing instructors to study the principles of force, energy, mass, and other fundamental properties in Newtonian physics.

    Using real-world buildings and other edifices as inspiration, campers will start the week by defying gravity to build the tallest skyscrapers and strongest bridges. Then, they will move onto air resistance and density and study how different types of planes, boats, and cars operate, seeking out unique ways to build them all and optimize their designs. Students learn how engineers have to build with earth's forces in mind; from gravity, to air resistance, to friction, to buoyancy and even centripetal force, students will be learning how scientists both work against and with those forces in their designs.

    As the week continues, our engineering challenges get even more elaborate Campers will be faced with tasks that combine their knowledge of physics with ingenuity and an ability to work together within a budget Students will learn how to use air resistance to create windmills and helicopters as well as fight against that force when they create rockets and planes. They will even learn how to keep a top spinning as they create their own toy that uses centripetal force. The camp finale will be a demonstration of campers' final invention, an egg drop – whose team will succeed and get their precious cargo to safety, and who will crack under pressure?sing real-world buildings and other edifices as inspiration, campers will start the week by defying gravity to build the tallest skyscrapers and strongest bridges.
