ITEEA Announces Elementary STEM Council International Grand Design Challenge Winning Team




Our granddaughter, Lucy, is in the 4th grade at Ronald McNair Discovery Learning Academy here in Atlanta. It's a STEM program and they recently won the top prize in the country for a project they entered in this year's International Technology and Engineering Educators Association's Elementary STEM Council 2021 Grand Design Challenge.

They've been invited to present their project at the 2022 STEM Showcase In Orlando in March (they need to raise $7,000 in order for them to go, plus $200 from each student). Donations are welcome

Awesome! And if anyone needs to read up on Ronald McNair, the dude was a bada$$. I actually think several people here on TA grew up with his kids in Houston.

It's funny, but this grandpa needs to do what he can to get his grandkid(s) out of Dekalb County schools. Things aren't going to get any better and there is no way I would have my kids or grandkids in that district. Congrats on the reward, now move her out of there.

Edit- My post has zero to do with race.

Lucy is well beyond her age in her academics. My daughter and son in law, both Georgia Tech grads and him a national merit scholar, are actively involved in support of the school. They are all pleased with the school and its leadership. And Lucy and the rest of the team on the project just won first place in the U.S.

I'm not sure what's behind your comments but it's interesting that you felt compelled to qualify them.

Congrats Paw Paw!! Thank you for posting this. Good news for your family.

Don't understand why others had to point out the race of the other kiddos. They all should be feeling high and proud right now

Can you tell us more about their project? The letter said it was an engineering design journal, but what about it made it winning material?

Here's a video of a pep rally they had to celebrate the win - apparently this was an international competition. At about the 13:10 mark they go through the design process.
