We are an Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) team at Purdue University who works with Imagination Station, the only hands-on family science center in the Greater Lafayette area. It's a place for children and their families to explore the worlds of science, space, engineering and technology.
Applying new and innovative technologies, our team designs interactive and fun exhibits for this local children's museum. Apart from the new projects that we are currently designing, the Mars rover and sensors, we also support a number of other projects including our Wind Tunnel and award winning Magnetic Car Racer. Individuals of our team come from a diverse background of majors allowing us to not only stimulate children's interest but to educate them in a number of different fields as well. Our projects grant great exposure to digital design opportunities as well as manufacturing.
