2 EOH 2009 HIGHLIGHTS MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPETITION The Middle School Design Contest offers 5th through 8th graders an opportunity to unlock their engineering potentials through a prepared design challenge. This year, our very own MSDC is a ping-pong ball launcher design contest! It is held in the morning of Saturday, March 14th in room 1320 Digital Computer Laboratories. There are over 40 teams coming to EOH Director’s Welcome Letter....................4 this year, and you should come see this exciting event! By using everyday objects, contestants have to apply engineering mechanisms and their creativity to design a launcher. This competition provides hands-on experience, AMD W.J. “Jerry” Sanders Creative Design Competition..............................5 promotes students to design their own work, and fosters their creativity. EOH 2009 Exhibit Index.........................................6 Teams of high school students have put their heads together to design excitProject Listings.....................................8 more energy efficient light emitting design. Inspired by the famous cartoons Project Descriptions ing contraptions with the goal of replacing an incandescent lightbulb with a of Rueben Lucius Goldberg, students find complex ways of accomplishing a simple task using ordinary (and sometimes not-so-ordinary) materials. Science and engineering principles are combined with creativity and ingenuity to create these awesome inventions. Stop by Campus Recreation Center Agricultural Engineering Sciences Building.................................................8 East on Friday between 10:00am and 1:00pm to see these amazing machines in action and vote for your favorite one! RUBE GOLDBERG HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN CONTEST Coordinated Science Laboratory..........9 ILLINI ENGINEERING CHALLENGE Digital Computer Laboratory...............10 The Illini Engineering Challenge is an on-site design challenge open to the Engineering Hall.................................12 pate! There are two striking challenges for you at the Transportation BuildEveritt Laboratory...............................12 can support, or build a tower out of provided materials! Remember to think about the shape and stability of the structure, and try to build the tallest Hydrosystems Laboratory...................16 tower! The projects have varying parameters depending on the age of the contestants, as the challenges are designed for all ages. Don’t miss out on our on-site challenges, and build your unique model! general public, so everyone who attends EOH 2009 is welcome to particiing this year.
