About the Event
We jokingly refer to the class as the “Kobayashi Maru” class. We begin by orienting everyone to the welding equipment.
We cover safety in detail so that no one will be anxious, as welding is actually much safer than driving or working in a kitchen.
The group will have about 30-45 minutes to work with scrap materials and become familiar with the machines. We then break the group into two teams. Teams are given 20 minutes to design a “bridge” that must meet specific criteria. Teams are given about an hour to construct the “bridge”. The bridge is then tested under load until failure, meaning we crush it. The success of each group is based on the load supported (divided by) the mass of material used in construction. Values are compared, the higher value (better load to mass ratio) wins!!! The twisted wreckage is available as a grisly trophy.
As a new feature…
