Future engineers to explore technology and the human experience at UVM
Exciting engineering designs are being created at UVM by future engineers that include: a new Vermont Teddy Bear toy, automated robots, wind turbines, biomass stoves, aeronautical probes, solar collectors, and a sustainable outdoor walk in refrigeration system designed to use thousands of recycled water bottles. Projects are being worked on by 78 high school students attending the UVM/GIV Engineering Institute - June 26 - July 4, 2010!
Engineering Project days: Tuesday, Weds & Thurs (July 29-30 and July 1)
Engineering Project times: 9:30 - 11:30 am --- 1:30 - 4:30 pm.
Engineering Project locations: TBA
