At Booker T. Washington Elementary School in Champaign, eighth grade students are paired up with small groups of kindergarteners to build their own bouncy balls. The older kids were trained beforehand, and guided their younger counterparts through the steps. This is part of the educational outreach Joe Muskin provides to schools not only in Champaign-Urbana, but across the state. Muskin is the education coordinator for the MechSE Department, which means he conducts engineering outreach for students from kindergarten through high school.
