Two FSMN Students Win Third Place in the ZOOM Challenge!!

The ZOOMS STEM Design Challenge offers students in grades 3-12 a chance to develop a solution to a real problem faced by zookeepers and staff at the Minnesota Zoo. This year, students were challenged to apply their science and math knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills to engineer an innovative enrichment or exhibit design solution for the Minnesota Zoo’s white-cheeked gibbons.

Of the 4300+ students that developed over 1370 enrichment and exhibit design solutions, only 121 projects were selected to give students the opportunity to present their design solutions to Zoo staff and Flint Hills Resources engineers during the ZOOMS STEM Design Challenge Exhibition week.

At the beginning of March, Nadia and Kole won 3rd place at the ZOOMS Minnesota Zoo animal enrichment design challenge. They designed the “Training Tree Pole” and the “Mealtime Drone” to meet the enrichment needs of Tia and Bailey, the white cheeked gibbons at the MN Zoo.
