Olin Design Nature: Hopper Demo Day 2021!
On Monday, October 25, Hopper Demo Day took place in the first year Olin course, Design Nature. During the early part of the semester working on this first project, Oliners are learning about engineering design processes and bio inspired design, making and refining their design goal throughout while also sketching and prototyping. Finally, as seen here, each member of the class demos their hopper (which are built earlier and are modeled on jumping animals and insects found in nature) to the class and professors in an atmosphere of true camaraderie.
Go here for a video clip of students launching their hoppers!
