Engineering Students Place in The Widener Mousetrap Competition

 
 Widener Mousetrap Competition

GA's new Upper school honors class in Engineering participated in the 30th annual Widener Mouse Trap Competition, where hundreds of high school students from throughout the mid-Atlantic region compete to build a mousetrap-powered device. Student teams are provided a design problem, a set of specifications and encouraged to learn and develop their skills of planning, design, and implementation — all while working in a team environment, as do practicing engineers.  Sponsored by Victor -a leader in rodent control solutions - where participants used Victor brand wooden mouse snap traps in order to create mouse trap-powered devices at the event. So how did GA's team do?  We placed 6th out of nearly 100 teams.
