starter kit, which includes a flight box and materials they will use to
build their science and technology experiment.
As part of their project, students are designing an experiment to
collect data during a Virgin Galactic suborbital flight, where it will
experience approximately three minutes of microgravity and allow
them to study the accelerations and conditions of spaceflight.
The winning team members include:

FIRST-EVER REGIONAL TRAILBLAZERS COMPETITION IN BISMARCK
A small group of Dickinson Middle School students spent this year doing the kind of work real engineers and city planners do, and it paid off in a big way!
The Dickinson Trailblazers formed after students showed interest in the Future City Competition, an interdisciplinary challenge focused on imagining a city 100 years in the future. This year’s theme, Farm to Table, required students to research agriculture, economics, zoning, engineering, sustainability, and city planning. They also wrote a research-based essay, designed city plans, built a physical model, and presented their work to judges.
Working during enrichment time and beyond, these students collaborated like
a real-world engineering team. Their hard work paid off at their first-ever
Regional Competition in Bismarck.
Awards Earned:
• 2nd Place — Special Award in Zoning
• 1st Place — Special Award in City Planning
• 1st Place Overall — Future City Regional Champions
