Four Montgomery Middle School students and their teachers recently represented Montgomery Middle School at the Project Lead the Way National Innovation Summit in Washington, D.C., with the expenses generously funded by Hewlett-Packard.Mariel Hoac, Eddie Montesa, Alan Ngo and Raynie Trujillo, all winners of the school’s essay contest, joined their teacher, Justin Goodrich, and district representative, Bill Berggren, to Washington, where the students showcased their projects to prominent members of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) community from around the country.
The students also participated in an exciting VEX Robotics “Clean Sweep” competition. They were surprised to find that VEX generously allowed the students to bring the $1,000 competition kit back to the classroom with them. The students also had an opportunity to take in the historic sites, including Smithsonian museums, monuments, as well as a tour of the Capital.
