MEP and Seagate
Host MESA Fall Fling
About 200 high school students and 35 math and science teachers
participated in the Colorado MESA Fall Fling Nov. 6 and 7. Sponsored by MEP and Seagate Technology, this two-day event brought students and
teachers from 23 Colorado high schools together to learn about engineering
through two fun, team-based engineering competitions. Colorado MESA
(Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) promotes interest in
engineering through after-school MESA clubs in about 50 high schools
statewide.
On Thursday evening, the high
schools used 8-foot (1"x2") wood furring strips and plastic gallon milk
jugs to design, build and race boat crafts in the main swimming pool of
the Student Recreation Center. On Friday, the students participated in a
multi-purpose vehicle competition, featuring pre-constructed vehicles
powered by mousetrap springs.
Special acknowledgements go to Lynné
Diaz, MEP assistant director for outreach and recruitment; Professor Ken
Gall, faculty speaker; the Colorado Space Grant Consortium for conducting
a hands-on "Lego spacecraft payload" activity; and to the many current
students who assisted from SWE, IEEE, MEP, and WIEP. MEP has hosted this
event with Seagate Technology annually for the past five years.
