For its fourth year, the Immaculate High School Brave Engineers team competed and won the Real World Design Challenge’s State Champion Governor’s Award.
In a letter to students Nikolas Badinelli, Carolyn Jandura, Mario Perez, Paulina Garcia, Ava Viola, Yipeng Zhao, and Nicole Radliff from RWD founder Dr. Ralph Coppola, students were complimented on their “demonstrated ability and significant achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics” and were cited to be among the most innovative students.
The 2022 RWD project challenge was titled the “Unmanned Aircraft System Challenge: Airspace Integration of UAS Package Delivery” which required participating teams to design a drone within certain constraints to deliver packages in an urban setting. The team had to follow safety guidelines and build a business case that is profitable to the city and the company.
