Mr. Derek Caepert's Engineering students presented their projects at the school board meeting this fall. Students have been using design thinking and prototypes to create various projects. One project included the Second Generation Solar Car that featured improvements in the gears, belt drive and traction from the first generation design. Other projects included were the Trebuchet Catapult which incorporated concepts of energy transfer and mechanical advantage. The Basswood Bridge project and Unabox project looked at how shape influences strength.
