Our last Industrial Engineering session of the semester. Our students studied work flow of a restaurant, even the design of a menu! Our second class studied encryption and looked for clues to find the special password to unlock the secret backpack full of snacks. It was a great year!

Wonder Tuesdays at the West Lafayette Library! We learned about the Kanban system to optimize our paper airplane factories. We had developers, decorators, and testers. The bottleneck was in the decorating stage, too many planes waiting to get their BLING. Then we made origami frogs.

Thank you to industrial engineering students and their Civil Engineering project, teaching kids to think about traffic design. Our students came up with clever ideas to create the best road to avoid car accidents. Can we add a bridge? What does it take move historical buildings for our new highway? What engineers do we need to build a road through a mountain? Our favorite quote of the evening: “if I don’t become a professional soccer player, I could probably be a civil engineer.”
