3rd Place for Micah!

A big congrats to Micah Doerr for his 3rd place Mission Possible device (kinda a high tech Rube Goldberg machine).  He was assisted at the Competition by Matthew Wilcox.  They were competing against High School teams from Ohio & Michigan; some who have been to Nationals more than once.
Our team got 37th!!!...
Now why on earth would I put exclamation points after that... well, it is because we only had 3 students able to attend from our team (that is a fifth of what other teams had) and there was 41 participating teams.  I expected last place as a team of three, but no - not our awesome students!!!

We were competing for individual medals/ribbons only... which we did get!  Besides Micah & Matthew's 3rd place, Alyssa Wagenmaker (assisted by Micah) got an 8th place ribbon for Bungee Drop.

Keep up the great work!

1st 2015 Invitational a success!

Great job at the invitational Middle Schoolers!!!

I am proud to be your coach.  You showed excellent sportsmanship, the ability to work well under pressure, and learned a lot.

Keep it up!

High Schoolers... your turn to shine this Saturday!

I would also like to thank Coach Schafer (Chris) for running the Bridges event for our "team job", and Coach Parker (Mike) & Coach Ives (Thunder) for helping him out.
