The 3rd Annual Straw Tower Challenge takes center stage, literally, on Friday, September 16th in the auditorium of the Global Learning Charter Public School. The top 16 teams - four from each middle school grade - will compete for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons in this highly anticipated contest. But the winners are all of the students in grades 5-8. 

Students are learning the Engineering Design Process, part of the MA science standards.

Judging the contest every year are engineers from Lockheed Martin in Marion. This year's judges are David Clement, senior manufacturing engineer; Caty Duncan, electrical engineer; and Grace Kish, quality program manager and the parent of two GLCPS students.
