Spotlight: First Annual Stem Challenge
Our First Annual Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) challenge held on October 18, 2008 was a success! The day was filled with projects such as a bridge building competition, building solar powered cars and a bottle rocket contest. Additionally, we had speakers and presentations from Honda of America Manufacturing and Cummins, Inc. We had a great turn out and enjoyed getting the high school students excited about STEM related fields. Thank you to all of the students, volunteers and sponsoring companies. We couldn't have done it without you and it was a great way for SHPE at OSU to begin the new school year!
