Collage of K-12 students with the  devices they built from all Science Buddies Engineering Challenge
This was the first time our school participated in the Science Buddies Engineering Challenge, and it was incredible to see the students' creative and competitive spirits come to life. The challenge was a fun and engaging way for them to apply their problem-solving skills in a hands-on environment at our farm school. I was proud to watch them think critically, experiment, and embrace the engineering process!
