First-Year Engineering Students' Space Exhibits "Tested and Approved" by State-Wide Middle School Students

Event Date: December 6, 2016
Last week, Profs. Allison Godwin and Tamara Moore hosted 180 middle school students from two Indiana schools to test their First-Year Engineering students' space-related educational exhibit prototypes and take-home activities.
The designs were part of their final projects for ENGR 131 and in partnership with Imagination Station in Lafayette. Selected design projects will be featured at the STEM center this winter.
 
Here is one teacher's feedback: "Thank YOU so much!  We thought the whole experience was wonderful!  The students were so excited when we got back and enjoyed sharing their experiences and their favorites. It was also wonderful for our students to have the exposure to the college students!  Many came back saying 'I can’t wait until I go to Purdue' and 'I am going to be an engineer'!"
