Designing rollercoasters, building space rovers, engineering structures to withstand rising sea levels. These are a few of the hands-on learning activities that students in grades 6-12 experienced thanks to the RPI Ambassadors program.
Small teams of RPI college students spent the day in Watervliet Jr.-Sr. High School science classrooms, introducing key science and engineering concepts and teaming up with middle and high school students on engaging hands-on projects.
Students had an opportunity to explore a diverse range of topics from metal fusion to prosthetics, rollercoaster design to polymers, sea level rise to bio sensors, and semi-conductors to Mars exploration.
