Looking back to 2012, Make to Innovate students had made a recreation of the house from the movie, Up. Due to the recent passing of the voice actor from that movie, we are taking a look back at that project in honor of Ed Asner (who played the character Carl). The pictures of this amazing project can be seen through our Facebook Page (Make to Innovate) and shows the incredible detail of the Up House, the characters Carl and Russell, along with the most important part, the balloons lifting the house. Thank you for the wonderful memories given from this movie; never forgotten.
Fall Kickoff Event
On August 25, Make to Innovate offered their Fall Kickoff event. The main areas of interest were seen through the projects made by students–going on ten years now for the upcoming anniversary of this program. There are 14 different projects throughout this semester that are collaborative and allow for everyone to creatively involve engineering. Above is one of the examples of a project done by a student seen at this event while on display!
HABET Flight: Sending Foods into Space at Iowa State Fair
Make to Innovate made an appearance at the Iowa State Fair this August by providing a scene high in the air. Iowa State students and others joined together to make the HABET Flight L-158-D; there was video footage captured inside this project to show the height accomplished and the items put inside the miniature looking “air-craft.” There were three different foods placed inside and throughout the duration of the video (about four minutes), they stayed in relatively still positions. This project was a fun and creative way for students to make an appearance at the fair while also doing something they enjoyed! The video can be found through our Facebook page, Make to Innovate, and accessed through the Youtube Link. https://www.facebook.com/make2innovate/.
