One our 6th grade students here at NMS, Hannah Chapman, had the opportunity to compete in the 2023 4-H Engineering Bridge Building Challenge and the 2023 4-H Engineering Mystery Challenge. Hannah worked collaboratively with a team to design, construct, and test a truss bridge. Hannah and her team learned the basics of truss design and load distribution, how to manage limited resources to achieve a goal, and they learned how to communicate effectively and contribute to the efforts of the their group. The bridge that was built by her team was able to hold 14 pounds and earned them a white ribbon for this challenge. During the mystery challenge, she learned to work under pressure and demonstrate her STEM knowledge. She got a blue ribbon for the mystery challenge. CONGRATULATIONS, Hannah!! Your NMS Family is proud of you!!
