Being innovative in solving a big design challenge is one thing but doing it in one hour, with no forethought or planning and working with a newly assigned team of 3 to 4 students from across disciplines…well that’s a different thing altogether. The High School PC CAPS students had a chance to showcase their skills and creativity with the Design Challenge on Thursday afternoon. KPCW’s Carolyn Murray was at the school for the event.
