The freshman bug project is a long-standing tradition among students, alumni, and incoming freshmen. The project has outlasted almost every building, stadium, and classroom. And like the renovations that have altered the Jesuit campus, the bug project has begun a journey of change.
Beginning in the spring of 2014, the bug project will incorporate more sophisticated science.

“Roller coasters and physics are a match made in heaven,” declared Patrick Finegan ’14, AP Physics student and roller coaster enthusiast. This day was no ordinary day for the Jesuit physics students. Unlike the balloon propeller lab and the Rube Goldberg project, this 2013 Physics Day on Friday, April 26 brought a whole new level of excitement: roller coasters.

On the morning of April 1, the sophomore class cautiously approached the Terry Center to drop off their molecule projects, hoping that they would not drop them or that the vicious gusts of wind would not separate the spray-painted Styrofoam atoms and the chipped wooden toothpicks from the rest of their projects. One by one, each sophomore entered the...
Every year, the junior class- at least, the ones in the regular physics class- get ready to construct a daunting challenge: a Rube Goldberg machine. The rules are relatively simple: one can use any tools to build the Rube Goldberg, it must be built only at school, and as Ms. Clayton told her class, the "Engineer Daddies" can't build...
