Day 3 Update – The Design Detectives took a trip to the Sardis Dam Field Office today and met up with Mr. Dale who is a Civil/Electrical Engineer. Mr. Dale showed us around the Dam and spillway area of Sardis Lake. We got to explore the inside of the Dam’s control room, saw the area that is used to keep the Dam from breaking apart in case of an earthquake and other really neat sites that keep the Dam in working order. Even Mr. Tim our bus driver enjoyed today’s fieldtrip. After eating lunch at Sardis Lake we got back to work and learned about open and closed circuits using lights & buzzers and made sections of a dance pad like the video game Dance, Dance, Revolution. We also had three visitors today: Raleigh and Stacey from the Memphis Service Center and Natalie from the Jackson Service Center. We are looking forward to more visitors during the final three days of Design Detectives.
