HONEYWELL AEROSPACE CHALLENGE

Science Teacher Mariano Guerra, Math
Teacher Stephanie Saclarides and three
teams of 7th and 8th grade students attended
the Honeywell Aerospace Challenge, a
prestigious competition held at ASU West.
Teams of students designed, built, and
described a lunar base on the Moon with
specific requirements and limitations and
only $50 worth of building supplies. The
three teams met twice a week after school
to work collaboratively to meet project
goals and deadlines. Student Teams
included: Aaron Aquino Ramos, Matthew
Christopher, Samuel Hunter, Malek Islas,
Kenan Jakupovic, Kany Keita, Raheem
McFadden, Christopher Pirtle, Randy
Rivera, Dorian Stafford, Kijana Stafford,
Simon Tucker, and Michael Z. The
learning focus for the project centered on
science process skills and problem solving.
The students’ main focus was space
exploration and expansion of human
endeavors. The Aerospace Challenge
project was supported through a Teacher
Mini-Grant from the Osborn Educational
Foundation, a 501(c)(3) supporting
students and teachers at Osborn.
