Imagine Engineering Camp at NC State (Summer 2023)

We led and participated in the two-week Imagine Engineering Summer Camp, organized and sponsored by the Engineering Place at NC State University. Working with the Engineering Place, our group designed fun, challenging, and hands-on projects for high school campers to learn the discipline of Materials Science and Engineering. In the “Shine Bright” Challenge, the campers successfully built a flashlight with the salt crystal they grew. In the “Bridge” challenge, the campers were competing to build a strong and light bridge with the materials provided. In addition to these fun challenge projects, Ruijuan also delivered a lecture about Introduction to Materials Science. Reza and Sharon led the lab tour and demos for campers to learn more about this discipline.
