Assignments


The assignments will be done in groups comprised of four or five students. The groups will be formed to mix students from the participating universities and differing disciplines. The groups will be assigned before arrival. You'll have opportunity to get to know each other on the first day. You'll perform your experiment on one or more riders from your group and their chosen human-powered wheeled vehicle.

Groups will need to make use of simple tools and accessible data at your disposal: tape measures, kilometer markers, stopwatches, smartphone sensors, cameras, video cameras, GIS downloads, etc. Be clever and resourceful!

At least one consistent rider should participate in all three assignments so that you can use the data from assignments 1 and 2 to support assignment 3 at the velodrome.
