As part of their introduction to engineering and professional communication, students were challenged to design business cards for a company of their own creation. This project combined creativity with real-world design skills, teaching students how branding, layout, and visual hierarchy contribute to effective communication.
Using digital design tools, students crafted business cards that reflected their company’s identity through selecting logos, color schemes, and typography that aligned with their brand’s purpose. Throughout the process, they learned key principles of graphic design, including balance, clarity, and consistency.
AP Physics students put engineering and physics principles to the test with the RC Kart Project. Working in teams, students designed and built remote-controlled karts, applying concepts such as force, friction, acceleration, and energy transfer to optimize performance.
Throughout the project, students experimented with different materials, gear ratios, and wheel designs to improve speed, stability, and control. They collected data from test runs, analyzed performance, and made adjustments to achieve their desired results.
The RC Kart Project combined hands-on engineering with real-world problem-solving, allowing students to see physics in action while fostering teamwork, creativity, and innovation.
