Two teams of students represented Midvale at the U.S. Navy's SeaPerch underwater robotics competition on March 28th. Under the direction of STEM Coordinator Mr. Kitchen, the students presented a poster and described the rationale behind the robot design, and competed in two pool events. In the water, the robot had to be guided through an obstacle course and also complete a series of challenging underwater tasks. Midvale's team of Michael, Halle and Kylie finished 1st in the presentation part of the contest and 3rd in the pool events, competing against elementary, middle and high schools from all around the Atlanta area. The team of Grace, Douda, Mattie, Zay'Brel and Isaac also represented Midvale well!
Students were treated to presentations from great community volunteers who shared with students what it takes to be successful in all types of careers, from self-employed entrepreneurs to the military. Thanks to all who enlightened our students. |
