This winter/spring BCS students were able to participate in the UMaine Windstorm Challenge, this event is an engineering design/build challenge through the University of Maine's Advanced Composites Center. Students build a floating platform for an offshore wind turbine. On Friday, May 1st, teams brought their models to UMaine to be tested in a wind/wave pool. The models are tested for acceleration using the same technology the Advanced Composites Center uses with the real materials. The goal is to build the platform that is the most stable despite the wind and the waves. Winners of the high school competition get priority hiring at the Advanced Structures and Composites Center at UMaine, an internship worth up to 60k(15k/year).
This year Brewer Community School had two teams representing the school.
7th Grade team: Bea Kirkman, Peyton McBreairity, AJ Dominic, Nolan Williams, Evan Hite, and Surteerth Handral. The 7th Grade Team performed very well and look forward to improving their design and returning to the competition next year.
8th grade team: Liam Robichaud, Conner Kivell, Lucas Dunakin, Lukas Oakes, Killian Grass, Evan Worcester, and Collin Huff. Our 8th grade team with Liam and Conner running point on the project took on a more challenging build, and it paid off!
They bested 28 other teams to win the Middle School competition!
BCS is very proud of both teams hard work and creative thinking. The award and trophy are on display at the school. Thank you Mr. Walters for mentoring these students and running The Windstorm Challenge here at BCS.
