Storm The Citadel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Storm The Citadel, one of the Lowcountry\u2019s largest STEM events, took place on February 8 and brought together more than 400 students from 26 South Carolina schools. The event, now in its 15th year as a combined initiative, is made possible through the collaboration of the STEM Center of Excellence and the School of Engineering, along with support from the Zucker Family School of Education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are multiple competitions going on,\u201d said Associate Professor and Department Head of Mechanical Engineering Kevin Skenes<\/a>. \u201cYou have the water rockets, the trebuchet, and then inside, we have the bridge-building competition and the maze competition, where students have to program LEGO robots to accomplish a series of tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S.C. Federal Credit Union sponsored this year’s event, which focused on encouraging exploration and learning in scientific fields through hands-on competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis event would not be possible without collaboration between the STEM Center and volunteers from Tau Beta Pi,\u201d said Jennifer Albert<\/a>, Ph.D., director of the STEM Center of Excellence. \u201cWe are hoping to continue to grow the competition and maybe even have new events next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
