Fluid Power Challenges in school?
The NFPA Fluid Power Action Challenge is proving to be a successful project, now involving 2000 students a year. In response to requests from teachers who are unable to be involved because they are not near a sponsored program, Mechanical Kits Ltd. has developed a smaller version of the kit that can be used in a school classroom with 28 students in teams of four. These kits were piloted at the Florida State TSA Convention in March 2019
The “Selected Team” Kit for the team to represent the class in an in-school competition is shown below:
