the Hardin Planetarium presents

A unique 2014 fall break
youth camp experience!

Wacky Engineering

Rube Goldberg became famous for creating overly complicated machines which combined an improbably connected series of events designed to produce an absolutely simple result. In this fall’s Science Curiosity Investigation Camp we will be pursuing the same folly.

Participants will engage in fun, interactive investigations to stimulate curiosity, encourage cooperative discovery and plunge into problem solving.


A Half Day Camp!

"Wacky Engineering" is the 2014 fall break camp theme.

Saturday, October 25th
All Day
  • Location: WKU's Center for Research and Development Facility/Aviation Heritage Park
  • Time: All Day

STEMshot! is a compressed air rocketry competition giving students the opportunity to engage in a challenging real-world problem based activity designed to enhance student’s critical thinking skills and understanding of next generation science content. Teams, grades 4-12, participate in two different competitions in two locations. One competition will take place in WKU’s Center for Research and Development facility (“the old mall”). Here participants will demonstrate their ability to work with multiple variables (launch angle, air pressure, rocket length & mass) to predict the performance of a rocket of their own design. The second competition, which could take place at the Aviation Heritage Park, will have students vying to launch a rocket with a single goal of having the longest flight time. While at the park, we hope that representatives of the Aviation Heritage Park Board could be present to share the stories of each of the planes in hopes to connect the student efforts directly with our past and their future.
The STEMshot! initiative is a collaborative effort between Western Kentucky University’s Ogden College (Department of Engineering & SKyTeach program) and the Green River Regional Educational Cooperative (GRREC). GRREC serves 41 school districts providing professional learning opportunities to teachers and administrators with the sole purpose of increasing student success.
For more information, contact Brian Womack (Brian.Womack@grrec.ky.gov) at GRREC, or John Inman (john.inman@wku.edu) in WKU’s Ogden College of Science and Engineering.

Dr. Clifton K. Meador will deliver WKU’s 2014 L.Y. Lancaster-Hugh Puckett Memorial Lecture at 6 p.m. Oct. 30 at Downing Student Union, room 3025.

In his presentation, Symptoms of Unknown Origin, Dr. Meador will recount a series of fascinating case studies.

Dr. Meador has been the Dean of the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, professor of medicine at Vanderbilt University and Chief Medical Officer at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville and is the author of 14 books.

The lecture, sponsored by the L.Y. Lancaster-Hugh Puckett Lectureship Society, is free and open to the public.

The lecture series started in 1980 in honor of L.Y. Lancaster, a former pre-med advisor at WKU, and now shares the honor with another former pre-med advisor Hugh Puckett. The series has invited a number of well-known speakers from various backgrounds to the WKU campus, including Nobel Laureate Stanley Cohen (1989), painter Ray Harm (1990), Raymond Preston (1992), former Lt. Gov. Stephen Henry (1997), former WKU president Dero Downing (1999), Pete Mahurin (2007), Dr. Sharron Francis (2009) and U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie (2012).
