These students really are stellar! 💫 High schoolers from Memorial and North recently traveled to Denver to compete at StellarXplorers Nationals. The teams competed in an 8 hour competition round where they designed a future space mission to collect Earth shattering data from celestial bodies. Then, they optimized orbits, designed the satellite, and selected the rocket that would carry their mission to the stars. Lastly, they presented their solution to industry leaders and took an academic exam to demonstrate their knowledge of the aerospace profession. North placed 2nd and Memorial placed in the top 10 out of 300 teams! Congratulations to our huskies and our bulldogs! We are so proud! 🚀✨ #EPSleads
