Students in the lower and middle schools celebrated Engineering Week this week. Sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the theme was Creating the Future. According to ASCE, "Engineers play a vital role in innovating solutions to global challenges that impact future generations. By working together to develop new technologies, products, and opportunities, engineers create new possibilities that make the world a better place."

In lower school library classes, the younger students listened to the story, Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and had the opportunity to create a flying machine using one of their favorite tools, LEGOs! The older students celebrated Engineering Week by working on the annual Science Buddies Engineering Challenge. This year, they had to create a tool that would transport a ping pong ball across the finish line. They were given only a few items to build them, and the winning devices were those that could transport the ping pong ball the furthest!
