We are a group of nine LOJ students who have been working hard with our wonderful advisor (Mrs. HInderhofer) after school and on weekends to design a school of the future. We call our school “BoB”, which stands for “Best of the Best”!
After many months of hard work, we were lucky enough to participate in local and regional competitions with other junior high and middle school architecture teams. Our hard work paid off and our design was selected to be presented at a national conference in Philadelphia in September 2016!
We have been invited to attend the A4LE conference to display and present our design to actual architects, engineers and other professionals who design schools for a living. We hope that our amazing design will impress them and that we can gather some great new ideas for our next project!
It means a lot to all of us to receive this honor. We really want to travel to Philly as a team, but we need to raise enough money to bring all nine of us plus our chaperones. Right now we have enough funding for about half of the team to go. We still need to pay for airfare, lodging and conference attendance for five team members and at least two more chaperones.
