This week, the Dartmouth engineering student team gave their final presentation for @NASA's BIG Idea Challenge for innovations to explore the #Moon. "SHREWs: Strategic Highly-compliant Roving Explorers of other Worlds" aims for greater mobility through #robots that latch onto each other — an idea inspired by shrews who hold each others' tails, forming a train or caravan, to move in a quick and orderly fashion. Winners will be announced next week! #biomimicry#robotics #spaceexploration More: ➡️link in bio⬅️ 
Repost @dartmouthwrugby • As finalists in the 2020 @nasa BIG Idea Challenge, Grace Player ‘21, Margot Genereux ‘21 and the rest of the @dartmouthcollege team used 2020 to build a LUNAR ROVER! Their concept (filmed by DWR’s own Eva Klein ‘20) will be streamed Thursday 1/7 at 12pm ET followed by live Q&A: https://livestream.com/viewnow/bigideachallenge So proud of these future engineers! 🌲 . . . #thayerschool #dartmouthengineer #dartmouthleads #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #lunar #robot

It was an unusual year in the life of our students, faculty, and staff. Through new and unexpected challenges, the Dartmouth Engineering community came together to continue the School’s mission of teaching and research with human-centered impact. Here are some highlights of the stories of 2020. . More: ➡️link in bio⬅️ . #thayerschool #dartmouthengineer #engineeringresearch #engineeringeducation #bye2020 
Repost @dartmouthsocialimpact • "My name is Thomas Clark. I am a ‘22 and I work with Growing Change. Since I joined my sophomore fall, I have grown so much better at thinking on my feet. We carefully develop our own lesson plans, but often there are complications. I remember one week a few of our members were sick so we had to combine two groups of students on the day they were finalizing their projects. With bit of creative thinking, I guided the students to combine their projects with parts of each group. This creativity and quick problem solving is so helpful to me as an engineer, and if I’m honest it’s always inspiring to see how adaptable the students are when something goes wrong in the classroom. I miss them and hope I will be back in the classroom before I graduate next year." . Some of our Youth, Education, and Mentoring (YEM) programs are still running, but most are on pause at the moment. Regardless, our amazing students, like Thomas, are still reflecting on the ways in which mentoring has helped them grow. #dartmouthengineer #problemsolving #payitforward
