Saturday, Nov 22nd found us, PN2K, partnering again with EcoVent's Dipul Patel and his stealthy side-kick, Nick Lancaster, while they worked their magic and awed the Amphibious Achievement crowd with planes. This PN2K-organized Amphibz adventure is the third in a series of field trips PN2K has collaborated with Amphibious Achievement to organize in the past calendar year.
Achievers:
1) Learned why and how college can be an asset to their future careers
2) Spent a majority of time in application (building, flying, racing planes)
3) Debriefed and took away some sweet souvenirs, courtesy of EcoVent
It was incredible to see the amount of effort and thought that Dip and Nick put into making this event truly hands-on. For our new readers, Dip from EcoVent helped host our second STEAM field trip with rockets in MIT Killian Court (it was a blast, in every sense of the word!) Being familiar with our obsession on the experiential learning component, it was no surprise that when we met with Dip and Nick before the Achievers arrived, who had a box full of rubber-band-plane kits ready to go! And the way they guided these high school students through step-by-step instructions towards building successful plane kits gave them a glimpse into being engineers.
Here is a glimpse of moments caught on camera.
Thank you EcoVent for your demonstration, brilliance, and generosity; to Dipul Patel for purchasing these kits, and Nick L. for showing Achievers the physics behind airplane lift and flight. You guys are superb!!
Thank you MIT Amphibz for your awesome Achievers and the enthusiasm they inspire!
We look forward to further adventures together.
