Riverview Intermediate Unit #6 recently coordinated the STEM Design Challenge for 6th to 8th grade students.
Five teams of students from Punxsutawney Area, Cranberry Area, and Union School Districts participated in this year’s virtual STEM Design Challenge. This year’s task was to rethink a product found in a home or create one that should be found in a home.
Punxsutawney Area 6th grade students, Hannah Mohney and Abbi Zampini took Third Place and Best Presentation for a Windmill Powered Projector. The girls said they chose to design their windmill powered projector because during quarantine they used a lot of electricity while watching TV. They also wanted to thank their teacher, Mrs. McKenrick for helping them enter the contest and submit the project.
The awards ceremony took place virtually on March 31.
