Science Fair: Club Showcase

Many clubs participated in this science fair and showcase.

Team GT Racing is an elite team from SHSID, preparing for the 2019 National STEM League. GT Racing has already won first place in aerodynamics last season and is hoping to do much better. To promote STEM at SHSID, many fun activities will be organized by the team for the science fair! A race track will be built in front of the Xianmian building and students will try state-of-the-art race cars and compete for the championship. Feeling the thrill of high speed, top tier racing, the winner can get amazing prizes by racing against our team driver, as well as other students. There will also be many displays around their booth for visitors to observe how a race car works. In addition to racing, the rover team will also display their auto-driving car near the race track.

At the Physics Bowl stand, students make their own electric motor by using their DIY skills! This activity requires little knowledge beforehand, so the students feel free to watch and try it themselves. In particular, an electric motor, similar to the ones used in vacuum machines and automobiles, is created using simple components such as magnets, copper coil, wires, and batteries.

The MEV (Mobility Electric Vehicle) show was incredibly impressive. In the driving simulation, real-time imaging from the driver's perspective allowed students to immerse themselves in the cockpit of the vehicle, allowing them to experience a specialized transportation teleoperation.

In the FRC (first robotic competition) room, the Robot operation was displayed. The goal was to lift the box and place it in a higher position. The operation of the robot includes movement in all directions - front, back, right and left. One significant part of the robot is the intake, which attracts and holds the box to complete vertical motion functions.

In addition to experiments and experiences, some clubs organized their activities as presentations. The AIME club at the science fair introduced their club in general, as well as what they do in the form of pascal triangles. Through the posters that they put up at their stand, the characteristics of pascal triangles will be fully explained by their members.
