ENGINEERING

Back to the Idea Hub

These engineering will help our students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, preparing them for future academic and career opportunities. Engaging with hands-on projects also sparks creativity and enhances their understanding of how concepts are applied in real-world scenarios, making learning more dynamic and relevant.

eCybermission

Overview: An eCYBERMISSION project is a fun competition where students use science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to solve real-world problems in their community. You pick a challenge or issue, come up with a creative solution, and then create a project to show how your idea works. It’s a great way to use your skills to make a difference and work with your teammates.

Egg Drop

Overview: An egg drop project is a fun and creative activity where you have to protect an egg from breaking when it's dropped from a height. You design and build a special container or parachute to keep the egg safe. The challenge is to use your imagination and problem-solving skills to come up with the best way to cushion the egg and prevent it from cracking. It's a great way to learn about engineering, design, and the importance of careful planning!

Hot Air Balloons

Overview: A hot air balloon project is an exciting activity where you design and create a model hot air balloon. You’ll learn how hot air balloons work by making a small balloon that rises when heated. The project involves building a lightweight balloon and figuring out how to keep it afloat. It’s a great way to explore science concepts like air density and heat, and to see how your design can make your balloon fly!

Invention Convention

Overview: An Invention Convention is a fun event where students get to create and show off their own new inventions. You come up with an idea for something that solves a problem or makes life easier, build a model or prototype of it, and then present it to judges and other students. It's a great way to use your creativity and problem-solving skills, and you might even win a prize for your amazing invention!

Mini-Golf Course

Overview: In this project, students would collaborate to design a playable mini-golf course that other students and staff members of the school could use and enjoy. Students would design the course, gather the supplies, build the course, and enjoy the game!

Science Fair

Overview: A school-wide science fair is a big event where students from all grades get to showcase their science projects and experiments. You choose a topic you're interested in, do some research, conduct experiments, and create a display to explain your findings. It’s a chance to show off your hard work, learn from others, and see a variety of cool science ideas from your classmates. It’s also a lot of fun and a great way to be proud of what you’ve discovered and created!

Sound Absorbing Panels

Overview: In this project, students would figure out how to increase the sound quality in the gym and in the RPMS stairwells. Sound absorbing panels are really important for school gyms and stairwells because they help reduce noise and echo. In a gym, with all the cheering, bouncing balls, and running around, sound can get very loud and overwhelming. In stairwells, noise can bounce around and make it hard to hear. By installing these panels, we can make the spaces quieter and more comfortable, making it easier to focus, communicate, and enjoy activities without all the extra noise.

Tetrahedral Kites

Overview: A tetrahedral kite project involves building a kite with a special shape called a tetrahedron, which looks like a pyramid with four triangular faces. You'll design and construct the kite using lightweight materials like paper or plastic and sticks for the frame. The goal is to create a kite that flies well and stays stable in the air. It’s a fun way to learn about aerodynamics and engineering while enjoying the process of making and flying your own unique kite!
