Sophomores in Clean Technologies & Sustainable Industries Early College High School, a NYS P-TECH school, attended the Hudson Valley Community College North Campus on February 13th for their monthly project visit. Students explore a college major at each visit. This month, students are exploring the Engineering Sciences pathway. Prior to the visit, students researched careers in the major, and also explored displacement, buoyancy, and gravity to answer the question, "What happens when you throw a rock in the water?" At the monthly visit, students completed the "Love Boat Challenge". For the challenge, students needed to use the materials provided to create a boat that would float and hold as many "candy conversation hearts" as possible without sinking. Students were able to test out their initial design before recording their amount for the competition.
