Computer WebEx Trainings
These trainings are open to all teachers and volunteers at no cost.

September 13, 2010 Skimmer Training 4:00-5:00 PM EST Students construct paper sailboats and test the effect of different sail shapes, sizes, and construction methods to meet specific performance criteria. Friction, forces, the effect of surface area and design are some of the physical phenomena students encounter in this challenge. For registration email nalducci@sae.org

September 20, 2010 Glider Training 4:00-5:00 PM EST Students explore the relationship between force and motion and the effects of weight and lift on a glider. Students learn the relationships between data analysis and variable manipulations, and the importance of understanding consumer demands. The glider activity culminates in a book-signing event where each design team presents its prototype and the class presents its manuscripts to Mobility Press "representatives" and members of the local community.
