Four Tippecanoe High School students competed in the Xtreme Bot Competition in Cincinnati. They created a robot to meet weight and safety specifications for the one-pound robot class. They won their first match and were the first team of the day to win by pushing their opponent into the trap door. The robot suffered irreparable damage to a wheel during the second match. It was the team's first robot competition; they hope to compete in the 15-pound class next year. Congratulations to Amaya Lipps, Amelia Staub, Evan Chesshir, Aubree Buehler, and teacher extraordinaire Annette Malott! #WEareTIPP

It was a beautiful Monday afternoon for after-school STEM activities. Students went on an Easter egg hunt and instead of finding candy, each egg contained an enrichment math problem for students to solve. Thanks to a grant from The Ohio Academy of Science, teachers Heather Bledsoe and April Taylor are teaming up to provide 4th and 5th graders STEAM enrichment activities to challenge and inspire them! #WEareTIPP #STEMactivities #welovescience
Thank you, Abbott Industries, for hosting Tippecanoe Middle School STEM and Engineering 101 students from Dale Bonifas' class.

Each student also received a drawstring bag with several "goodies" inside. #WEareTIPP
