STEM Inquiry Workshop: Bumper Project Competition
Delve into the world of STEM education with a hands-on workshop focused on inquiry-based learning. Participants will engage in designing, building, and testing a bumper to reduce force impact in a competition setting. Utilizing Pasco probe ware and Capstone software, teams will strive for the greatest improvement percentage in area reduction. Share results and collaborate as you conduct trials for this engaging activity.

Teaching Inquiry through STEM OTF Workshop
Outline 2 activities: STSE connection (Competition!) Design of a bumper can reduce the force P.O.D. (Performance on Demand) Mystery mass We will focus on the 1stactivity
Bumper Project Use Pasco probe ware and its Capstone software Materials: ramp, cart, F sensor Ramp at angle of 10.0 degrees Do baseline run (i.e. no bumper) Find area under curve Design, Build, and Test a bumper Save all runs
And the Winner is. The design team with the greatest % improvement initial area lowest area % improvement = ----------------------------------- x 100 initial area Share your results on board as you are doing trials
