Sacred Heart High School Physics 11 and 12 classes presented their technology innovation projects this week. Their task was to take an existing technology and research how it works. Then they were challenged to make a change to the design or find a new use. They had to make a leap of imagination and take the original technology and create their own innovation. In the presentation, they were to create a model of their prototype out of easy to obtain materials and use that to sell their innovation to the SHSH Dragons Den.
Physics 11 Dragon Den
Shannon with her Glovlies. Shannon took super absorbent materials designed by NASA and used them as a way to dry your hair quickly on those mornings you are in a hurry.
Kinza with a new design on a horse saddle pad. Kinza took memory foam and made a more comfortable ride for the horse and rider.
Katelyn made a LEGO prototype of a Braille reader tablet. Her innovation would use electroactive materials to make the raised bumps on the reader.
Sophie was inspired by our Water Walk this fall. She designed a water purifier incorporated into a backpack.
Anya fabricated a scaled version of an elevator powered by people.
