We all love things that glow in the dark and a night time celebration isn’t complete without glow sticks, but have you ever wondered how they work? What exactly happens to make light appear when you bend the glow stick and hear that crack. Learn about chemiluminescence and the chemistry behind glow sticks!
Have you ever wanted to design and program your own game? Now is your opportunity! Visit our website and check out games that have already been created, watch tutorials, explore our visual programming language and design and program a game of your own!
Liquid is the material state whose shape depends on the container; on the other hand, solid material has a specific shape that resists the external force-induced deformation. Most of the time, we can tell if the material is liquid or solid by examining its response to external force. However, can you think of a material that can be both liquid and solid at the same time depending on how you interact with the material? In this hands-on activity, we will guide you to make a material that is between liquid and solid. When you gently and slowly poke the material, it is fluid like water but when you poke it hard and fast, it is elastic like a solid material. This material is categorized as a non-Newtonian fluid. In this activity, you will learn how non-Newtonian fluid behaves differently from conventional Newtonian fluid.
In this activity, we will demonstrate the essence of mixing through an activity of blending a couple of colored dough balls. You will learn how blending these balls can be accomplished by simply following the fundamental actions of mixing processes: repeated stretching and folding.
Simulate the 3D food printing process through a simple activity, and compare your results to a real 3D food printer!
Can you think of a few similarities between a hospital and a factory? Based on a hospital-factory analogy, this presentation provides a novel way to innovate in the medical device field with manufacturing science and technology. Examples of medical device innovation to tackle the world #1 cause of death will be introduced.
This video explains supply chains and their management. It also talks about game theory and its application in supply chains.
See how TRINA, the tele-robotic intelligent nursing assistant can be operated using different interfaces such as a game controller, stylus, and motion mapping to complete tasks. Which interface do you think will work best?
Every year, thousands of people are killed or maimed because of land mines. Countless acres of land can’t be used to grow food because they are littered with these deadly mines. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are working on a robotic solution that would be inexpensive enough for small towns and organizations to use. The project uses an autonomous robotic team – a rover that uses a metal detection system to detect the mine and a drone that will drop a payload on the mine to detonate it.
