PRHS Students Enter Lunar Rover in Shaler STEAM Competition
For the past 8 years, Shaler Area High School hosts a variety of STEAM challenges during a teacher in-service day. High School teams from across the area compete in problem solving, building, engineering, and design tasks throughout the day to accumulate points. This years events included, parachute creation, and accuracy, a self-portrait of an action pose, designing a helmet to limit concussions, and creating a machine that would sling paper footballs without human interaction!
Students were also tasks with a 'build challenge' to bring with them. Pine-Richland fielded two teams, each of which created a 'lunar rover' to complete specific tasks within a challenge. They had to drive and manipulate various substances and objects with minimal student input.
