ASHRAE AT THE DISCOVER SCIENCE FESTIVAL AND 14th ANNUAL HIGHER LEARNING DAY
Alicia Tan, K-12 STEM Lead
On November 3rd, Golden Gate ASHRAE had a booth at the annual Discovery Day at AT&T Park as part of the Bay Area Science Festival. We ran a pressure drop experiment where the kids blew into a short straw and a long straw and observed on how it was harder to blow through the longer straw. They learned how pressure drop can affect the amount of effort and energy that is required to move a fluid through a conduit.
The day went really well and both the kids and volunteers had fun! Thank you to all the volunteers who came out and helped! Here are some pictures from the day.
