ENVISION partnered with Urbana Middle School’s SPLASH program in Spring 2019 again to introduce students to a variety of science topics. Students created Borax crystals (chemistry), tested the range of homemade catapults (civil engineering/physics), assembled circuits (electrical engineering), and created their own bridges and added weights to these to test the stability of their structures (civil engineering).
SPLASH at Urbana Middle School Fall 2018
ENVISION partnered with Urbana Middle School’s SPLASH program in Fall 2018 to introduce students to a variety of science fields through interactive experiments. This semester they used 3D pens (3D printing), created rain in a jar (atmospheric sciences), tested homemade structures on an earthquake simulator (civil engineering), and created parachutes for an egg drop test (physics).
Principal Scholars Program
ENVISION partnered with the Principal Scholar Program (PSP) to welcome over a hundred middle school students to interact in three break-out sessions about circuitry, aerodynamics, and structures.
