Interested in demonstrating an engineering design challenge to move a lighthouse over an obstacle? The Move That Lighthouse! lesson plan http://tryengineering.org/lesson-plans/move-lighthouse served as a starting point in developing a hands-on activity recently demonstrated during a workshop in Kenya.

If you are interested in demonstrating this activity, please send an email to [email protected] to receive a list of the kit materials, an overview of the testing process and a copy of the slide presentation.

A TISP Workshop was held in Puebla, Mexico on 7 & 8 November, 2014. Two hands-on activities were demonstrated for the first time during the workshop "Oil Spill Solutions" and "Shake it up with Seismographs." Volunteers from all 10 Sections in Mexico participated.

A special thank you to Augusto Herrera of Argentina for sharing his photos of the event.
