10th Anniversary of Action Challenge Finishes Strong Thanks to Members, Education Partners

摘要

With the support of our membership and education partners, the Fluid Power Action Challenge event introduced almost 2,000 students to fluid power technology in 2018 and its tenth year of operation. The origin of the Action Challenge began with Steve Rogers of Mechanical Kits LTD. In an interview with Steve, he told me about his background teaching high school science, math, and technology before moving on to work as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Nottingham and a Senior Curriculum Officer in the UK. With his experience in education he realized that, "students learned and understood conceptual knowledge at a deeper, more meaningful level when they used their hands as well as their heads to learn."
