About this event
We are so excited to welcome you all to our new and improved engineering workshop event, Designapalooza. This event is traditionally offered to younger students in elementary school. But this year, we are opening our event to high school students from Grades 9 - 12 where they will get the chance to participate in more intricate workshops presented by our outstanding design teams and industry professionals.
Note: Lunch and refreshments will be provided for all students.
Workshop Information:
Workshop 1: Aerospace
This workshop contains presentations from an engineer from the aerospace industry sharing information about how engineering design is used in the aerospace industry. The presentation will be followed by an interactive, hands-on activity for students to apply the concepts from the presentation and design a model.
Workshop 2: Automotive
Our University of Toronto Formula Racing team will share their experiences working on the fully functional student designed formula racing cars with revolutionary technology that have competed internationally in competitions in Michigan and Europe. This workshop will also be followed by an interactive hands on activity related to engineering design using concepts in the automotive industry.
Workshop 3: Civil Engineering
This workshop is presented by our other award winning design team, the University of Toronto Troitsky team. Held at Concordia University in Montreal every year, Troitsky is a national bridge building competition where students from all over the country compete to build the strongest bridges. This workshop will also have a hands-on activity where students will apply civil engineering concepts to design their own bridge.
