CONGRATULATIONS TO EASTLAKE HIGH SCHOOL, EASTLAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND CASTLE PARK HIGH SCHOOL

The San Diego Mayor’s Cyber Cup Finals took place on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at UCSD Supercomputer Center. SUHSD had three teams participating; Castle Park High School, Eastlake High School, and Eastlake Middle School.

The competition was full of surprises for all participants. At the end of the event, Castle Park High School took home 10th place, Eastlake Middle School 9th, and Eastlake High School 5th. A total of 125 teams representing 71 different schools competed at this year’s San Diego Mayor’s Cyber Cup. A very respectful accomplishment for Sweetwater Union High School District.

During the award banquet, each of our teams was awarded $700 for making it to the finals and the students and teachers were given the opportunity to attend a Cyber Bootcamp this summer for free! Watch a video that features the competition HERE.

Hovercraft Challenge

Last Saturday, April 30, 2016,  Chula Vista High School’s Physics Club Spartan Physics Force (SPF) competed in a county wide competition organized by Northrop Grumman at one of their facilities against other schools from around the county.

This year’s challenge was to build a Hover Craft that could accelerate, maneuver through an obstacle course with payload carrying. The competition was scored on 3 aspects; a preliminary design report (PDR), a presentation, and obstacle course performance.

This was SPFs 5th time competing in the challenge. In past years, they have taken three 2nd place finishes and one 3rd place finish. This time around, SPF  finally took the top spot FIRST PLACE! First place receives a $1,250 for their club or program.

The team consisted of 7 committed students, 2 teachers and a mentor engineer from Northrop Grumman.

Students: Angel Delgado, Arlette Flores, Omar Garcia, Diego Amador, Andres Perez, Ashely Curtis, and Benny De La Rosa.

Teachers: Steve Streifer and Patrick Mallory

Mentor Engineer: Yesse Tanner (yes, that is correct, Mr. Scott Tanner’s daughter -former ASB Dean at CVHS and a graduate of Tom Dunn’s Physics Program at Bonita Vista HS.)

CONGRATULATIONS TO SPARTAN PHYSICS FORCE (SPF) STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND MENTOR.
