Congratulations to St. Ed's Science Olympiad Team who competed at the State Tournament last weekend.
The team placed fourteenth overall out of 40 teams and consisted of a majority of first-year team members. From building devices that keep time using no electricity or batteries and balsa wood planes powered by a rubber band, our student scientists and engineers challenged their skill sets this season and earned the following reputable placements during their State competition.
