Congratulations to Eika Willis on winning our local Geography Bee! She will be moving on to the state competition to be held on April 6, with a chance to move on to the national competition and thousands of dollars in scholarships. Well done!
Congratulations to our Omega Robotics team who won the award for most innovative solution at the state FLL tournament in Moscow recently! This award is related to this year’s theme which was focusing on problems related to the human water cycle. Team Omega came decided to tackle the problem of water conservation in regards to waste water (toilets, washing...). They innovated a fog catching mesh used in Peru to be used on skyscrapers. The water it collects would flow down a water pipe to a holding tank in the basement. They used Seattle as their site for this innovation. They calculated the amount of average moisture in the air in Seattle, and calculated the area of coverage on the Space Needle. These calculations led them to estimate that their mesh could produce an estimated 1600 gallons of water per day. This water could be used to supplement non potable water needs for the building, cutting down the usage from the city water grid. The presentation of this idea set them apart from the other competitors and earned them one of the coveted 3 big trophies!
