On October 30th, 5 members of SWE-ECI spent the evening at Mount Vernon High School with an enthusiastic group of Science Olympiaders. After a successful first year of partnership where the team took second in state, we returned to the classroom to help kick things off again. Teams were working on their projects like "Wright Stuff," an airplane building competition and other building events. We provided support and helped encourage them to use the engineering design process. We also brought pizza! Overall we all had a lot of fun and the team got a good start on preparing to try to take first at state this year!
After a great event last fall, three members of SWE-ECI's core board returned to Mt. Vernon High School bright and early on Saturday, March 28th to help the students prepare and practice for their Science Olympiad events. After a successful practice event at their Spring Invitational, the students are frantically redesigning and preparing for the State competition at Coe College on April 18th. On Saturday October 18th SWE-ECI joined the Mt. Vernon High School's Science Olympiad Team at one of their first event practices of the year. SWE was able to help students review last years designs, discuss how the events went, and what were the strengths and weaknesses of deigns.
Two members of the Mount Vernon Middle School Science Olympiad team came to present to the SWE ECI Core Board on Thursday June 5th. Clarissa and Zach, 8th Graders, came to share their experience that led the team to this year's National Competition in Orlando, Florida.
