As part of our Winter-Olympics inspired S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) series, students engineered Bobsleds today and demonstrated how energy concepts can be used to find how far the Bobsled will slide. The bobsled sporting event, which goes back to the 18970's and has long been a part of the winter Olympics tradition, must take into account several key aspects of physics and engineering. For one, bobsleds must be engineered to be very aerodynamic, such that they encounter lit
