Student groups had only select materials to create the car such as a balloon, straw, craft stick, candy mints, tape and a rubber band. At the end of the engineering challenge, each group raced their balloon cars and made modifications.

It has become a yearly tradition for third grade student, Victoria Szaro, to do what she does best, TEACH. Every year, Victoria collaborates with Mrs. Armstead, the ESL teacher at School 9 to teach a lesson to the ESL students. This is something special the ESL students look forward to every year. This year's theme was , "All About Bees." According to Mrs. Armstead, this has been thus far the highlight of her career, " to motivate, inspire and create a new generation of future teachers."
