We have had several guests visit us in the last few weeks. We have talked to an Olympic hopeful in the pole vault, an MLS champion, a chef, an animator, an ice cream scientist, and a paleontologist. We have studied sleep, grueling marathons, and aerospace engineering. We have celebrated together, said goodbye to classmates, and welcomed classmates back. Those are just a few of the things we have done recently in room 242.
Students share their spacecraft design as part of an aerospace engineering lesson.
