Honeywell Fiesta Bowl Aerospace Challenge

Three teams of students participated in the Aerospace Challenge on Tuesday December 6th.  As always I am so proud of our Carden students; their behavior and dedication is of the highest level. I love my job.   What a wonderful day! Our school was well represented, the judges were attentive, listened to our students explain their projects and entered into open learning discussions with each team. Our teams did not win this year but we learned so much about living in space that this whole project has been a terrific success.

Will we do this again next year, OH YES!

Our thanks to Mr. Keeland and Mr. Cooper who took  time to assist our teams with their projects.
