They Did It Again

Newburyport High School team took the Real World Design Challenge and won first prize Statewide for the second year in a row.
The group of five students — Connor Gravelle, Molly Picillo, Belle Douglass, Dan Colby and Ryan Campbell — competed with contestants statewide to design the most fuel-efficient Leerjet empennage (tail section). Coached by Sarah Leadbeater with support from Technology Department chairman, Steve Smith, this years team came through once more.
The team will be honored at 2B2 by MassDOT Aeronautics Division. Keep an eye on the Plum Island Aerodrome web site and this blog for the date of the event. The team has also earned a trip to Washington DC to compete against 25 other state winners. Ace reporter Charlotte will once again cover the award and the national competition for the 2B2 blog.
