North High School students debut electrifying cMoe exhibit
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — North High School students are showing off their hard work with a brand-new exhibit at cMoe in Evansville. The exhibit was entirely designed, built and installed by the school's engineering students. The project gives students a hands-on way to learn about STEM — especially how mechanical energy can be turned into electrical energy — all by riding a stationary bicycle. The faster they pedal, the more energy they create and the more light bulbs they can power. Students tell us it was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to combine what they've learned in the classroom with something the entire community can enjoy. The exhibit is in the Art-maker Studio portion of the museum. Officials say they are excited about future collaborations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
