Congratulations to Red Mountain High School team of Aerospace Engineering & Robotics students for being selected as the national winner in the 2022-23 NASA TechRise Student Challenge, a nationwide contest designed to engage students in technology, science, and space exploration. Teams were asked to design an experiment that could be conducted aboard a high-altitude balloon, and their ideas were judged by a team of engineering professionals. These Mountain Lions will be meeting weekly with a virtual mentor to fully design and build their experiment using a $1,500 budget provided by NASA TechRise. At the end of the semester, they will be shipping their experiment for its trip to low-altitude space for analysis!
