Ada Destination Imagination Teams Shine at Regionals! The Ada Destination Imagination teams competed at their regional tournament on Saturday, March 7 at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, and our students did an incredible job representing Ada Schools!

Four second graders participated in the non-competitive Early Learning challenge and shared an exciting story about a field biologist, police officer, and police dogs working together to rescue a lost turtle from predators. Judges were impressed by their knowledge, creativity, and teamwork! Team members: Alexander Macar, Benedict Gargac, Lydia Wile, and Morgan Hamilton

Competing in the Technical Challenge “Win it Big,” this team created an underwater game show called “Currently Under the Sea.” They designed their own set, costumes, props, and moving game show components. Judges praised their creative characters and their use of engineering, physics, and chemistry. 4th Place – Advancing to the State Tournament on March 28! Team members: Ellie Lee, Harper Rigsby, Hazel Timpe, Lucy Porter, Makenna Szippl, Max Wile, and Rosemary Gargac

Also competing in the Technical Challenge “Win it Big,” this team created a game show where contestants spin a wheel of peril, perform daring feats, and sometimes trip over a conveniently placed rock! Their project incorporated mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering, and judges were especially impressed with their use of hydraulics to open doors. 3rd Place – Advancing to the State Tournament on March 28! Team members: Ada Porter, Callum McAlpine, Charlie Wile, Claire Porter, Hailey Rigsby, and Joseph Gargac

Mrs. Alt’s Precalculus class recently took learning beyond the classroom with an exciting visit to the Ohio Northern University College of Engineering!

Students participated in hands-on STEM workshops where they explored how math, science, design, collaboration, and revising ideas all play an important role in engineering. Throughout the day, they tackled several engaging challenges. They designed protective devices to keep a grape from getting crushed while learning about highway crumple zones, explored the world of cybersecurity and encryption, and even built their own hovercrafts!

It was a fantastic opportunity for students to experience real-world engineering, think creatively, and work together to solve problems. Thank you to Ohio Northern University for hosting such an inspiring day of learning!
