5th Grade Engineering Team

A huge shout out to our 5th Grade engineering team, the International Space Launch Association (ISLA for short) for participating in this year's regional contest on Friday, March 31st. The competition is sponsored by the Minnesota State Engineering Center of Excellence. This year's theme was Into Orbit - Transforming Space Technology. The team challenge was to create a machine with multiple steps to complete a simple task using recycled materials and the design process. The team was scored on a Team Journal, Presentation, and Machine Design and Operation.

The ISLA team will be advancing to the championship and will compete again in Anoka, Minnesota on April 21. Way to go team!

Student names: Emma Perrin, Myles Ally, and Katelyn Owen
