Two Olathe East Environmental Design Teams Make Top Ten
Olathe East had two teams that qualified as Top Ten
Secondary Finalists in the Burns & McDonnell Battle of the Brains Contest. The teams were selected from a pool of 560 entries from 128 different schools.
Each team won a grant of $2,500 each for Olathe East, which will be used to buy new technology for the Environmental Design program, as well as being shared with the Math and Science departments to promote S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) education. We will also share a part of the grant with the English department who worked with the students on editing their proposals and the History department who helped with vote promotions.
