Texas Flight Crew Leader Wins Engineering Competition Grand Prize
From Austin, Texas, 2024 Flight Crew member Miranda won the grand prize at the inaugural international DiscoverE 2024 Future City® High School Competition. One of four team members, Miranda competed against almost 100 students across the United States and Nigeria to research, design, and build a city of the future.
Following the competition, Miranda also received the DiscoverE Bell Girl Day grant to fund a project that showcases different aspects of engineering to young girls. With the knowledge that Miranda learned from the Future City® program, Miranda created a hands-on challenge for K-8 students to build the tallest tower possible using limited recycled resources in only 5 minutes! Miranda’s project reached around 600-700 students - 86% girls - as part of the University of Texas at Austin STEM Girl Day.
