STEM Student Day
(Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics)
2012 STEM Student Day was designed to stimulate interest and inspire young people from throughout the state about possible futures in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Students who participated had a chance to win a new iPad. Students had to attend the Madame Curie performance at Little Theater AND Bradbury events were eligible.
Last Year's Schedule:
4 pm – 5 pm Los Alamos Little Theater
Madame Curie Performance
5 pm – 7pm Bradbury Science Museum
Pizza for all!
Choose from one of three programs:
*Mars Rover Scientists
*Fire Science or
*Kraz-E-Science Show
(See registration for details of programs)
7pm Central Park Square Parking Lot
Procter & Gamble Corvette Demo
The CHeAPARRAL 2J-2 “sucker vette” story is about a group of engineers who work for Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, Ohio. This team challenged themselves by putting to use many of the math, physics and other scientific principles they've learned over their lifetimes to build a unique car to compete in the national Grassroots Motorsports Challenge. Wild ideas, sound engineering and resourcefulness led to a winning design and later opened doors to meet a couple legends in the automotive world, Jim Hall and Jay Leno (check out the "Leno and Hall" tab). As many race car buffs will notice from our team name, our wildest idea was reapplying the concept of active downforce, originally pioneered by Jim Hall and Chaparral Racing in the 70’s. But we had to figure out how to adapt it to a production car while only spending hundreds of dollars, and do it in a couple of months! Also, many more photos are available on our website http://www.cheaparral.com/index.html.
