In other news, our students competed October 9 in the second annual Engineering Olympics, hosted by Florida Atlantic University’s chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Teams competed in a series of timed engineering challenges using a ‘brown bag’ of supplies for each event—pasta tower, popsicle stick bridge, marshmallow catapult, and aluminum foil boat.
Our Hawk heroes: captain Kayleigh Previte; co-captains Aleen Touma and Daniel Lowenthal; Ralph Regis; and Zack Wiggins.
"It's not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with the sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause and who, at best knows the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), 26th US President and 1906 Nobel Peace Prize-winner.
