Students from Century Middle School have been awarded top honors at the 2023-24 ZOOMS STEM Design Challenge, presented by Flint Hills Resources. The Minnesota Zoo’s award-winning program, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, is a yearlong project that challenges elementary, middle and high school students from across Minnesota and beyond to develop solutions for real zoo-based scenarios. A record 5,200 students participated in this year’s challenge.
Of these, only 134 projects were selected to advance to the exhibition, where zoo staff and Flint Hills Resources engineers review the projects and present awards to the winning students. The top three projects at the elementary, middle and high school levels were awarded at the exhibitions between March 4-8. Student teams were awarded prizes for the conservation, innovation, teamwork and zookeeper categories.
