Candid Student Reports

The following reports were written by members of Engineers in Training during the fourth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.

Krista

I liked being able to make our own beams and seeing if they would work. I think you could get mouses. Because its harder to use laptops. And Sometimes I miss things.

Kai

Today we tested beams that were made out of styrafoam insulation. Then we made our own beams and tested them. it was all very fun.

Amay

Today we learned about beams and moment of inertia. Today was fun. I can't think of anything to improve on.

Bianca

today we made beams and then we saw how much weight it will hold it was fun.

Briana

My partner and I had to build a beam. We almost to our MOI but the beam kept sliping. It was a little difficult finding a design.

Robert

Today we build beams and hopefully it will stand for the prediction we made.

Kennia

this camp is so much fun

Ben

yay, today my ibeam held 64lb!

Victoria

Today at Shodor we had a great time. First we looked at some beams already made. It was kind of hard trying to guess what each of them could hold. But once we got back to class and used the data flyer everything became much more familiar. The best part overall I would say was allowing us to make our own. Can't wait for tomorrow to test it!

Kyle

Today we did a project on beams to see how much weight they held. We tested some the beams the the teacher made out of foam and made some of our own. It was lots of fun and our beam held 64 pounds of weight!!! Yay!
