A partnership with The Miami Christian School (FL) and the Florida Theta Chapter of Tau Beta Pi, at Florida International University (FIU), was announced by the Doral community newspaper this month. “It’s the first time the prestigious FIU group has linked up with a K-12 educational institution in Miami- Dade County. Miami Christian School welcomed (Tau Beta Pi) members on campus to participate with high school students in three different hands-on engineering projects: aerodynamics, dispersion, and building structure. Students competed to see who could make the most aerodynamic paper airplane, a boat that could hold the most pennies without sinking, and a structure withstanding the most pressure. All enjoyed the challenge and are looking forward to more collaborative activities with FIU Engineering Honor Society students in the future.” This was part of the Tau Beta Pi K-12 MindSET outreach program.
