You don鈥檛 have to be super smart to like engineering. That was the message UofL Speed School of Engineering students relayed to hundreds of local kids last week at the annual Engineering Expo.
The expo is organized and run by Speed students.
The younger students competed in Rube Goldberg and balsa wood bridge building competitions while also participating in several hands-on demonstrations of engineering principles.
鈥(The event is) to plant that seed of excitement about engineering鈥 said Tyler Poteet, UofL engineering student. Poteet and other UofL students led the demonstrations, explaining to the younger students how things work.
Terri Hathaway鈥檚 father was an engineer. She brought her two sons who were learning about static electricity and building rockets. 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a great thing that UofL puts on for kids from elementary up through high school to expose them to engineering鈥 Hathaway said.
