Design thinking and collaboration are at the heart of what makes L&N a great place to learn. Below are some photos from the design challenge that L&N used to open the 2013-2014 school year.
Borrowing an activity from the University of Tennessee’s eVOL9 Engineering Camp , the faculty at L&N gave students one 4′ x 8′ piece of foam board, a roll of duct tape, and two hours to design and build a chair that could support 150 lbs. Students created 27 chairs, which were then tested by L&N faculty with varying degrees of success.
