TSA Competition Fall of 2010 (School Year 2010-2011)

The Fall of 2010 Technology Student Competition at Fitchburg State University was a great activity. We met after school a few afternoons to prepare for the competition. We started off by discussing the different competitions and all students chose to participate in the transportation activity. The next step was to do some research and share the findings with the rest of the members of the group. After discussing the research students built preliminary prototypes. Many of the groups built prototypes at home along with the after school meetings. During our prototype building process the students shared what worked well and did not work on their prototypes with the whole group.

Friday December 10th at 7:00 we were on the road heading to Fitchburg State University ready to compete...
