Final Friday (10.6) marked our second discipline journey of the 2023-2024 tutorial yr!

50 college students from Dever Elementary College in Boston got here to Northeastern to take part in STEM actions. The day began with a presentation on the Engineering Design Course of and the basics of bioengineering. The primary exercise the scholars accomplished was a reverse egg drop. They tried to construct a tool to catch an egg — with out breaking — dropped from a peak! The egg labored as an important instance of a mind and a cranium to emphasise the significance of sporting helmets and for the continued analysis within the mind damage house. The exercise was an important hit!

After lunch, college students constructed paper rockets and launched them over Centennial. They labored in groups and confirmed a number of collaboration abilities — so necessary in engineering and different STEM fields! The rockets went actually excessive, which is at all times tremendous thrilling.

Thanks Dever Elementary!

Time to launch the rockets! How far will they go?

Answering the query: what’s an engineer? What do you suppose?

Work-study Kaitlyne poses with the outcomes of the egg drop. Some groups bought frowny faces for a cracked egg; failure is a giant a part of engineering!
