Congratulations to #theCTHS students that participated in the Space Settlement and Design competition at NASA this weekend. Bruce Nguyen, Emiliano Castillo, Lana Fontenot, Audrey Rosales, Alberto Urquiza, Kiera Jnlouis, Caleb Meyer, and Lenneth Cruz worked for 36 hours to design a space station on Mars. The competition is high-intensity and simulates an engineering industry environment. The students collaborated with students from across Texas and US and finished their designs overnight Saturday with the help of some NASA mentors and engineers, and presented to a panel of judges on Sunday morning.
Caleb and Lenneth were on the winning team. Students not only learn about engineering and technical skills, but how to work with a team, communicate effectively, be a strong leader, and other life and soft skills, critical to success after high school. Congratulations to all the participants!
