Georgia Tech-Young Engineer’s Day
Georgia Institute of Technology's College of Engineering and the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC) are pleased to announce the inaugural Georgia Tech-Young Engineer's Day on April 30, 2008.
This is a day to celebrate Georgia's K-12 student engineers and provide an opportunity for them to showcase their work on a theme based annual design challenge. The design challenge is based on engineering for social consciousness, and allows teams of students to plan, design, and present a solution for a problem that affects their immediate surrounding or those of other identified countries. School teams that choose to participate will come together on the Georgia Tech campus to showcase and present their design to a panel of engineering professionals and faculty.
Participating schools include Sandtown Middle, Westlake High School Math / Science Magnet Program, Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology, and Kell High School in the Atlanta area. This year the students can choose either to research, plan, design, and present a children's home, a power station, hydraulic pumping station, or a fluoride removal system in correlation with Engineer's Without Borders or identify a problem that affects their immediate surrounding or those in other countries. The design must have a positive impact on the targeted society.
