Inspired Learning Day Design Challenge Last Week
On Thursday of last week students put their Portrait of a Learner skills to the test in the Inspired Learning Day Design Challenge. During the design challenge, students worked with their advisory groups to design solutions to a zip line challenge. They each had the chance to design a solution, test their prototypes, and compete against all other advisories in the school. Congratulations to Mrs. Miklavic's advisory class who were able to "hit the mark" and were the winners of this year's design challenge.
