Competition
Simple Machines Playground
Explore levers, gears, wheels, axles, pulleys, and other simple machines through hands-on models. Participants will test how small design changes can make work easier and discover how simple machines are used in everything from bicycles and elevators to robots and construction equipment. Explore how the body stores and copies information by building K'NEX models of DNA replication and transcription. Participants will learn how engineers and scientists use biology, chemistry, and design thinking to better understand living systems and develop technologies that support human health.
The Scratch Interactive Coding Competition is a fast-paced Scratch coding competition where students have just 20 minutes to create an interactive animation, dance party, or visual experience using a provided template. The competition is divided into two divisions: Elementary School (Grades 3-5) and Middle School (Grades 6-8) , with challenges tailored to each level. Participants must think quickly, code efficiently, and showcase their creativity under time constraints. The challenge emphasizes rapid problem-solving, interactivity, and artistic expression.
Discover how engineers use sound waves to create images of what is happening beneath the surface. Students will see how sound, imaging, and engineering come together in technologies used in medicine and industry.
Join us for an interactive tour of our Biomaterials Lab, where biology meets engineering to solve some of medicine’s biggest challenges and heal the human body from the inside out. You will discover the fascinating world of biocompatibility and see firsthand how we engineer metals, polymers, and ceramics to coexist seamlessly with living tissue. Get a close-up look at how next-generation orthopedic, cardiovascular, and dental implants are designed and fabricated to transform patient lives.
