The following reports were written by members of Engineers in Training during the fourth day of the program. Some elements may have been removed/edited for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
I liked seeing what wax beams held the most weight. I am looking forward to doing the daredevil project tomorrow.

We are continuing our daredevil project it takes a lot of thinking. I think a little more explanation of terms would be good.
Matthew
I liked the way things worked in today's lesson.
Robbie
Today, Engineering in Training the class talked about and tested the wax beams. We also went over the Daredevil Design Project.
Robert
I had fun learning about weight and mass.
Matthew
I liked testing the wax beams. I think beams were the best.
David
Today's workshop was very hands-on and we got to test bridges and gather data. Now we are working on our final project in which we will talk about velocity and projectiles. I love how the projects are hands-on and require planning.
Roshen
I liked everything but I would rather not be outside so much.
Jackson
I liked seeing how strong certain beams were.
Christopher
Today was a fun but hot! I really like the project we're doing because it's giving me a great review before we go back to school and have to do algebra and physics. But in the process I'm having fun.
Jimissa
Today we finished our beam projects and tested them. It was interesting to see which designs were the best. The race car project is fun.
