EA's Largest visit yet to Bald Eagle Area Middle and High School

In our largest visit yet, eight Engineering Ambassadors visited Bald Eagle Area Middle and High School. This visit included an assembly for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders highlighting career opportunities for engineers and visits to over 20 science, math, and career exploration classes. 

Amy Szabo and Brett Corl teach the students about all the
cool things engineers can do with lasers.

Terri Creech and Alec Tanida encourage students to be
creative in designing the coolest roller coaster

Showcased above, physics students learned about lasers and all the innovative ways engineers use them. The 6th grade career exploration class put their creativity to the test to design the roller coaster with the most loops. Chemistry classes were in for a real treat! students made ice cream to demonstrate the effects of phase changes. In preparation for the National Rube Goldberg competition, some students made devices to catch the pig from angry birds using as many steps as possible in only 30 minutes! The calculus classes used their knowledge to find a way to filter out certain frequencies from a song, choosing to remove Justin Bieber's voice to make the song in one student's words "more appealing."

By the end of the day the EAs impacted 800 students! And we had a blast doing it! 

Putting the "EA" in Eagle! Go BEA Eagles!
