Our 4th and 5th grade students did a great job of representing Southern Columbia Area at the recent K'NEX Challenge at the CSIU on Tuesday. Students worked together in groups to create environmentally friendly people movers. Each team had only two hours to build their vehicles based on blue prints they designed ahead of time. Students had to also create an obstacle that their vehicles would over come. Our students designs included cars that would travel over mountains, tanks in the dessert, and a transporter that easily traveled up and down a steep incline. Students completed a small presentation to a team of engineers to end the event.
It was an amazing day to see all the neat projects that students from other area schools came up with. I couldn't be any prouder of how well our students did in this event. They have been working extra hard and their effort shone through! We hope our 6th through 8th Grade teams do as well as you all did when they compete next Monday.
