Morse HS MESA Club Organizes Mock MESA Day Competition to Encourage Schoolwide Engagement in STEM

The students in the MESA Club (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement) at Morse High School are planning to host a Mock MESA Day on campus on December 14, 2018, from 2:30-6:00 pm. Students in the club, with help from several teachers advertising and offering extra credit, are recruiting teams of students to participate in a competition for their choice of three possible projects (Civil Structures, Wright Turn Glider, Mouse Trap Car). The competition will be similar to the competition held annually at San Diego State University for high school and middle school MESA Clubs throughout the county. All Morse HS students are encouraged to participate, with MESA students providing materials for the projects, mentoring, and food at the event. This is a phenomenal student led initiative to increase interest and engagement in STEM related fields.
