Programmable Technology

Ellison Technologies
Technology does more today than ever before and will continue to more as we move into the future. Today we learn about some of the programmable technology that creates instrumental pieces to our every day lives and how robots help perform tasks that help create a better quality of life for us.
68-CS-03 Systematically identify and fix problems with computing devices and components. 4a. Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems 68-AP-03 Design and iteratively develop programs that combine control structures including nested loops and compound conditionals.

Automated Milking Systems

NC A&T State University

Science of Construction

Brassfield & Gorrie
From the foundation to the roof, science is vital to the production of materials used in buildings. Join Mitch today as he learns more about how necessary science is to the building industry.
6-8.PS1.A.3 Gather, analyze, and present information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and how they impact society. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on natural resources that undergo a chemical process to form the synthetic material. Examples of new materials could include new medicine, foods, and alternative fuels.]
ES.3.A. 6 c. Analyze the ways humans affect the erosion and deposition of soil and rock materials (e.g., clearing of land, planting vegetation, paving land, construction of new buildings, building or removal of dams) and propose possible solutions

Architecture and Design

Frank Lloyd Wright House
The Geometry and Symmetry of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architechural designs inspire in so many ways, from the math of how it works to the almost sci-fi feel of some of his designs. Join us today to be inspired to create your own architechural marvels.
Geometry B – Visualize relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects.

Fire Triangle / Fire Safety

McWane Science Center
Combustion reaction. A chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen and usually
accompanied by the generation of heat and light in the form of flame.
What 3 components are required for combustion to occur? Join Peyton today at the McWane Science Center to learn about the comustion triangle and fire safety.
