EVENT HIGHLIGHTS EOH 2010 Director’s Welcome Letter...........5 AMD W.J. “Jerry” Sanders Creative Design Competition...........6 Exhibit Index....................................7 __________________________ MIDDLE SCHOOL COMPETITION The Middle School Design Competition offers 5th through 8th graders an opportunity to “integrate knowledge, derive genius” through a prepared design challenge. This year, the challenge is to build a wire glider using everyday materials. Come and check out the competition on Saturday, March 13th in Digital Computer Laboratory between 10:00am and 1:00pm! By using ordinary objects, contestants have to apply engineering principles combined with creativity to compete for the best design. RUBE GOLDBERG HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN CONTEST Teams of high school students have put their heads together to design exciting contraptions with the goal of dispensing an appropriate amount of hand sanitizer into a hand. Inspired by the famous cartoons 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 East on Friday between 10:00am and 1:00pm to see these amazing machines in action and vote for your favorite one!

The Illini Engineering Challenge is an on-site design challenge open to the general public, so everyone who attends EOH 2010 is welcome to participate! There are several challenges for you at the Transportation Building this year. Stop by and try your hands on the challenges and you could win a free EOH t-shirt! AMD W.J. “JERRY” SANDERS CREATIVE DESIGN COMPETITION AMD W.J. “Jerry” Sanders Creative Design Competition is an annual robotics contest which allows teams of the best engineering students in the country to test their engineering skills and ingenuity. This year, robots will be playing a game of Tic-Tac-Toe. This is one of the largest and most exciting events at EOH, and is sponsored by Advanced Micro Devices. Come join us to encourage creativity and excellence in engineering! Kenney Gym, Friday (9AM-4PM), Saturday (9AM-3PM) Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory Tours Friday Only-First tour at 9AM, approximately every 15 minutes, last tour at 3:45PM. Concrete Crushing Talbot Laboratory basement - 10:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, 2:30pm Rube Goldberg Machine The Rube Goldberg Society has built a machine to dispense hand sanitizer. A Rube Goldberg machine contains many small steps that accomplish a big task. The machine is themed after Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, containing all kinds of gizmos from the movie. Come check out the amazing machine this year! Engineering Hall 106B3 Run Times: Friday -9:30/10:15/11:00/11:45/12:30/1:15/2:00/2:45/3:30 Saturday-9:30/10:15/11:00/11:45/12:30/1:15/2:00/2:45
