Intel and the Portland Metro STEM Partnership once again celebrated National Engineers Week by connecting with fourth-grade students in the Hillsboro and Beaverton School Districts to spark their imagination and interest in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) fields with an engaging, hands-on activity.
On Thursday and Friday, Feb. 22 and 23, over 350 Intel volunteers visited 90 fourth-grade classrooms in the two districts to conduct the Pop Fly activity, which uses the same design thinking and methodology as the world’s top innovators.
In this activity, students worked in small groups with their adult mentors to create a lever that launches a Ping-Pong ball into the air using paint stirrers, a wooden block, a small paper cup, and duct tape. Students learned about fulcrums, levers, force, and more in an age-appropriate and accessible manner where everyone could find success.
