Exhibit title- "Extraction Experience"


The goal of the activity “Extraction Experience” is to separate the mixture of sand, Styrofoam, and staples into its various components. The kids will be provided with magnets, water, and a spoon. They must use these to separate the materials and put each component into different cups.

Group hosting exhibit- Galipatia Outreach Committee


We are part of the Galileo/Hypatia programs in the College of Engineering. These programs are “living learning” communities of engineering students who live, work, and socialize together. Opportunities exist within the programs for professional and academic development, as well as service and leadership experience. Designed for first year engineering students at Virginia Tech and run by former program participants, the two programs have grown to encompass roughly five hundred students.

Exhibit title- "Tallest Tower Construction"


This is an engineering design event in which participants will work in teams to construct the tallest tower. Using the provided three sheets of construction paper and tape, teams of 2-3 students will work together to construct the tallest tower in ten minutes. The design objective is to achieve the tallest tower that can hold a penny for ten seconds without falling over. During these ten seconds, the tower may not be touched or otherwise supported. The penny is not allowed to be taped to the tower. The height of the tallest tower will be displayed throughout the day so the students have a goal to reach.
