Getting Hands-On Experience at the NFPA Fluid Power Challenge
The kids at the Macomb Community College NFPA Fluid Power Challenge built some pretty cool apparatuses, and learned a lot about harnessing fluid power.
On March 26th the NFPA, Macomb Community College, Master Pneumatic and many other sponsors hosted 163 middle school students at the first annual Michigan Fluid Power Challenge. The Challenge began 6 weeks ago with a Workshop Day where teams learned some basics of fluid power by constructing from balsa wood, cardboard and syringes a pneumatic lifter mechanism.
