2017 Los Angeles NSL Fall Invitational
Posted January 10, 2018 by Terri Stripling
Students gathered at the LA Arboretum in Arcadia, CA for a fast-paced day of National STEM League competitions. Students revved their engines and hit the throttle at the first Fall Invitational for Ten80 teams sponsored by the Hispanic Professional Engineers.
Excitement was in the air as teams setup their pits and displayed colorful team logos and presentation boards. 3-minute fever pitches displayed lots of creativity and innovation. The room came alive as vibrant cars zoomed around the racetrack. There were a few spinouts and pileups as students sped around turns and raced to the checkered flag. All teams truly showcased the 21st Century Skills students cultivate as part of the National STEM League.
Special thanks to Michelle Serrano for organizing and officiating the event.
Congratulations to all teams for a great performance. We look forward to seeing you at other events of our 2017-2018 competition season!
