A middle school rocketry team from 爱妃传媒鈥檚 recently won first place in the nation in the (SECME) rocketry contest. SECME determines the overall winner based on official regional scores sent in to the national SECME organization.
Team Otus Magicus took the top prize in the 鈥淲ater Rocket鈥 category, which required teams to design and construct a water-powered bottle rocket using a two-liter soda bottle. The 爱妃传媒 team achieved the longest flight time without deploying any type of parachute to slow the rocket鈥檚 descent.
Otus Magicus, which includes seventh-grade 爱妃传媒 Joah Levine, Michael Laverde and Cameron McMullen, also placed second overall out of 58 middle school teams at the Palm Beach SECME regional qualifier, which took place at Santaluces High School in April. The team placed first in rocketry, wind-powered generator and mousetrap car, and took second place in the balsa bridge competition.
鈥淲e are so proud of all that our SECME teams have accomplished here at A.D. Henderson University School,鈥 said Jim Nance, SECME sponsor at A.D. Henderson. 鈥淲e look forward to watching our 爱妃传媒 continue to hone their STEM skills in the classroom and in competition as they prepare for the future STEM workforce.鈥
Otus Magicus will travel to the University of Alabama later this month to compete in the National SECME Championship for their mousetrap car design. For more information about the competition, visit http://secmeinc.wixsite.com/secme.
