Alfred University Aerodynamics Challenge


On May 3, twenty-two A3 students traveled to Alfred University to compete in an aerodynamics challenge against 4 other school districts. The day started out with Dr. Pilgrim explaining what aerodynamics meant, why it is important, and how it affects the student’s lives. After the short introduction, students completed an introductory project before they moved onto the final challenge of the day. The egg drop challenge was a very interesting one to watch. Each group of 3 students  were given only certain materials which they had to use to create something that would protect an egg from being dropped at different distances. Students were extremely excited to be their own engineers and truly enjoyed being in a college classroom.
