Description
Watch teams of high school students from across the country compete in an all-day challenge to build wind turbines that can hoist empty garbage cans to the ceiling of the Blue Wing. Explore a range of “windy” activities with Museum Exhibit Halls interpreters and educators from the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.
The day culminates in a “big bang” as all the cans — as many as 30 — are released in one loud finale.
Heavy Metal, a collaboration with the Lemelson-MIT Program, is part of EurekaFest, a multi-day celebration designed to empower a legacy of inventors. For more information about EurekaFest activities citywide June 25 – 28: 617-253-3352, web.mit.edu/invent.
