Abstract:

A STEM outreach program was designed to target local elementary and junior high/middle school students to introduce students to many technical aspects of the railroad industry. A series of railroad operations and associated challenges was presented to the participants. Wooden track pieces and small wooden rail cars were used to design and build a viable solution that solves the operation challenge.
