PA Media and Design Competition

On March 21st, ten 6th graders from North Hills and Sinking Springs participated in the Pennsylvania Media and Design Competition  at the Lincoln Intermediate Unit in New Oxford. These learners took the initiative to create projects for the digital movie, programming, and 3D printing categories. The work needed to be done mostly independently with extra time outside of the regular school day. The projects they created competed against those from other middle schools (grades 6-8) across our IU. I'm so proud of their initiative, effort, and perseverance throughout the process!
