Students gathered at the Linton-Stockton Middle School Gymnasium Friday morning to participate in an Engineering Challenge. Students from Linton-Stockton, White River Valley, Bloomfield, North Davies, Northview, and Loogootee competed in seven different problem solving activities. They were given a task, along with certain materials, and had to create a solution using only those materials.
