“This was an incredible accomplishment for them since this group has only been together for six weeks and was competing against some very experienced and accomplished teams,” said Amanda Henk, PLTW Engineering teacher and team sponsor.
Other sponsoring teachers included Mr. Brian O’Neill and Mr. Joe Domka from the PLTW Engineering staff.
