Tumwater Middle School hasn't added a story.
Tumwater Middle School students and staff are excited to end this year on a high note with a hands-on engineering project that you can help make a reality. After extensively studying solar panels this spring, students will build their very own solar cars!
Together we will learn about the fascinating transfer of solar energy to kinetic/mechanical energy. Students will sketch their ideas and re-iterate their design many times to reach optimal speed. They will also experiment with different sized wheels, axels and gears in order to get their car to travel straight, fast and far.
Hands-on projects engage our student scientists in active science inquiry and design thinking. Innovative ideas like this Solar Car project captivate student's imagination and inspire them to further investigation!
This project is supported by the Beaverton Education Foundation.
Founded in 1988, the Beaverton Education Foundation raises money to provide hands-on innovative academic enrichment and advancement programs & projects that go beyond normal school funding at all Beaverton public schools and is a 501(c)(3) community-based nonprofit organization. BEF mobilizes community resources to fund innovative classroom projects, summer and after-school programs.
In the event that this project does not reach its goal or exceeds its goal, BEF may apply the funds received to another similar project.
