The objective of this project is to design an adjustable PVC walker or wheelchair that enable mobility (reduce friction) using either air jets or aerogel. (One might consider equipping the walker/wheelchair with a GPS tracker for those who become disoriented and/or motion sensors to warn of impending surface hazards for the visually impaired.)

The objective of this project is to design and construct a no-hands sanitizer dispenser from PVC pipes. It should be adjustable to various heights to accommodate not only older, secondary students but also younger, elementary students.

The objective of this project is to construct and operate an emergency solar-powered radio for the broadcast of important information regarding dangerous locations, hazardous weather conditions, and current updates in the event of a power outage during the course of natural disasters.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a classroom desk using soda bottles. The desk will be fitted to comfortably seat the student with a flat surface to write and position a laptop as well as a compartment below to store books/backpacks, a compartment on the side for writing utensils and a compartment on the side of the desktop for a calculator.

The objective is to design and implement a social media campaign centered on the physics involved in drinking, texting and driving. A primary component of this project will be five 60-second PSAs that will be scripted, filmed and edited by students. The PSAs will incorporate the concepts of reaction time, forces and Newton’s Laws, and momentum, collisions and impulse to describe the tragic consequences of a car crash as an effective way of reaching youth. #Just Don’t is just an example of an underlying message for this campaign. The group who chooses this project is encouraged to develop their own message.

The objective of this project is to design and construct two structures of activities typically found in a playground that will accommodate ALL children (including those with physical disabilities and impairments).

The objective of this project is to design a wind turbine to collect and store wind energy that can then be used to charge a cell phone. The charger will then be tested across a pool of various phones for charging capacity.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a lightweight solar-powered drone equipped with a PocketLab Air module to collect environmental data from various heights/altitudes about the ground. One could also explore using Wifi to facilitate real-time data collection/graphing and analysis.

The objective of this project is to utilize solar energy to charge a cell phone. The charger will then be tested across a pool of various phones for charging capacity.

The objective of this project is to design an aquatic vehicle (in the form of a pontoon or catamaran) equipped with sensors that will collect environmental water data while navigating on the water surface. The rover can be constructed either with 3D-printed components or Legos and equipped with a camera and/or GPS tracker to link data points with their geographical source.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a remote-controlled rover vehicle equipped with sensors that will collect environmental air data while navigating on terrain. The rover can be constructed either with 3D-printed components or Legos and equipped with a camera and/or GPS tracker to link data points with their geographical source.

The objective of this project is to inform and educate the general population about climate change through the information obtained from an ice core extracted from the Arctic region. The information will be conveyed in a StoryMap, an online digital storytelling tool that accommodates multimedia files to enhance the story.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a remotely-operated vehicle resembling a barge which will transport layers of aerogel sheets. Aerogel is a hydrophobic absorbent material that attracts oil. As the barge approaches an “oil spill,” sheets of aerogel will be dispatched in a manner similar to the unrolling of toilet paper and positioned over the area of the spill to engage in the absorption process.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a weighted compartment with sensors to collect scientific data below the surface of a body of water. Data will be collected from several points within the selected body of water, graphed and compared for analysis.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a greenhouse equipped with an infrared camera using real-time Wifi monitoring to assess plant health and growth progress.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a mobile hydroponic garden using PVC pipes.

The objective of this project is to design and construct a transparent chamber that will house a camera suitable for underwater photography and equipped with appropriate lighting. In addition to testing the chamber with regard to its photography, students will also explore viable mechanisms for retrieval.

The objective of this project will be to design and construct an incubator chamber for chicken eggs. The chamber will be fitted with proper light/heating control but also equipped with Wifi audio (and possibly video) for real-time monitoring of the hatching eggs from a remote desktop monitor.
