Tension and Compression Force

12th-graders in Cameron Lee's Introduction to Engineering Course utilize a simple but effective technique to demonstrate tension and compression forces and how folded paper reacts to both by measuring the number of washers and weights that can be held by paper based on the number of folds in the paper.
The robotics course is a project based class where students learn STEAM fundamentals while building robots to complete tasks. Students will learn basic programming and circuitry to control and use a variety of robotic components such as microprocessors, servo motors, and optical and audio receivers and transmitters. Students will be able to program their robots to sense and respond to the environment based on preprogrammed libraries or to be remotely controlled by a smartphone app. Students will also learn mechanical engineering fundamentals such as gears and lever arms, radio and wfii communication, and input-output functions.
