A member of the FRC robotics team at VCHS, Matthew Zhang created a curriculum for learning the principles of mechanical engineering through a slideshow and hands on activities--from creating a projectile launcher to dropping eggs cushioned with cotton balls and straws from the roof (but don't worry--no food was wasted, as all eggs were sealed in ziplock bags and scrambled soon after). Throughout the process, Matthew encourages the children to be creative in drafting their own designs.
