On Saturday, February 25th, the Martins Creek Middle School Science Olympiad team traveled to the University of North Carolina at Asheville to take part in the Western Regional North Carolina Science Olympiad tournament. Our team members have been practicing since the fall semester for these events.

Our group loved learning about mammal ID by analyzing skulls and dental formulas. In the afternoon, half our team enjoyed the Sphero maze challenge, and the others had fun with Circuit Playground!

Students engaged in "Breakout Boxes" during Spring Conference!

We had a GREAT day designing cell phone cases and lock box breakouts!

Students from Hayesville Middle School engaged in the "Helicopter Aerodynamics" breakout session in Cherokee! Wesley is sure he has the best helicopter! Kemp & Cameron are testing out their helicopters. Adam getting ready to release his helicopter!

Our STEM-E group and Science Olympiad team operate together, and these are a few snapshots from our regional competition last spring at UNCA.
