  2. Soddy Daisy Middle School – Students participated in a contest to design the optimal paper airplane and learned about supercomputing and aerospace engineering (Itinerary and Activites)
  3. Battle and Brown Elementary through UTC Center for Community Career Education – Fourth and fifth grade students learned about hypothesis testing and error analysis at a grade appropriate level
  4. Signal Mountain High School – AP Physics and AP Calculus students learned about lift and drag on a NACA0012 airfoil using an in-house online Euler Emulator
  5. Tyner Middle School – Hosted students for the Math Counts Program
  6. Hosted the 8th grade from Normal Park Museum Magnet Upper School for a discussion about the mathematics of simulation and how simulation and experiment work together as bridges to a better understanding of physics
  7. Hosted an Advanced Placement physics class from Central High School (11th and 12th graders) for a SimCenter program overview and tour (Itinerary and Activites)
  8. Creative Discovery Museum, Chattanooga – Potential future collaboration to help create math and science exhibits for young children
  9. An undergraduate biomedical engineering student at Boston University was sponsored in a SimCenter Summer Internship working on a microbial fuel-cell concept
