Family & Science Center
Besides the amazing Lineman actions, FREE & delicious foods & drinks, face painting, petting zoo & donkey rides,
this year we'll have a NEW Family & Science Center with STEM & Clean Energy activities,
and a Wind Turbine Competition for kids & youths to inspire our next generations!
They might want to be an engineer, programmer, scientist, etc. because of this.
We provide the tools & materials - though subject to availability, changes and cancellation.
Here are some of the highlights from the past activities:
- To Compete in Wind Turbine Design & Construction Competition:
By using recyclable materials like 2-liter soda bottles, we may make blades and glued them on used CD,
which is mounted/clipped on to a CD player motor - the generator.
Voltage is measured when the turbine is setup in front of a running 20" box fan.
The Top 3 teams generate the most Clean Electricity will take home trophies like the wining lineman teams also.
Here is the Event Rules
Please help bring at least one Straight-body 2-liter soda bottle as described at this page,
if possible. We try to provide it, but we don't know how many we need.
- To Build some STEM-related mini projects,
e.g. the simplest motor with magnet, wire & battery. It's First-Come, First-Served basis as quantity is limited.
In 2017, we built the Walking Robot.
In 2018, we had mini Solar Car kits: kids had built their very own Clean Energy EV.
The kit comes with everything they need, including a little screw driver.
- To See Demos (maybe test drive) of Robotic Arms, Simplest Motor that anyone can make, and maybe Smart Cars will join the show.
