On Jan. 23, NASA announced the 60 winning teams in their third annual Techrise Challenge, including four students from Friday Harbor High School. This year’s Techrise Challenge invited teams of sixth to 12th grade students from private, public and charter schools across the country to create their own project proposal to be launched on a high-altitude balloon or rocket-powered lander. Winning teams receive $1,500 to build their projects, mentorship from NASA engineer-advisors, and are tested on a NASA-sponsored commercial flight.
