At Vicente Martinez High School, we presented several engineering challenges that allows students to solve problems and create solutions. In the first session we asked our students to create a “Marble Wall” — a vertical maze that uses gravity and inertia to move marbles from the start to the end. […]

Understanding the complexity of something as simple as wiggling our fingers is an important step in learning about human biology and anatomy. With all of the bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, our hands are incredibly interesting. In one of our our recent Community Science Workshop sessions we made models of […]
Of course we all know Newton’s Three Laws of Motion (inertia, momentum, equal and opposite reactions) … right? Our students know them now thanks to Marble Rollercoasters! Using foam pool noodles, marbles, and toothpicks we designed and built Marble Rollercoasters complete with drops, curves, loops, and jumps. In […]
