Citrus MESA- 80 members and growing!

So far this year in MESA it has been interesting and exciting. When the school year began we had a straw tower competition to convince students to join. We currently have over 80 members.

We formed an awesome leadership group, some of whom went to CSU Fresno for training in September.

In MESA elective class we started out creating project posters and presenting the rules.  We have practiced engineering skills with paper towers and another fun competition where the only materials were spaghetti noodles and marshmallows.  We applied the principals of bridge building with KNeX and then made Manila File Folder Bridges for competition.

For the first Saturday Academy we took close to 30 students.  They participated in many activities and one of them won 2nd place in the Rube Goldberg competition.   Our goal for the next academy is to take at least 40 members.

Ten of our 8th grade students are traveling to Catalina Island with Fresno MESA.  They are all looking forward to the trip.
