Each December since 2016, just prior to the winter recess, science and STEM collaborate to bring an engineering challenge to all 650+ BAMS students.  The challenge changes each year and the science department prepares the students with a series of information and activities prior to the all-school challenge.  After an evaluation process, semi-finalists and/or finalist groups are selected and awarded prizes and placed as one of the top three teams.  It has quickly become an enthusiastic event and something that the students look forward to just prior to winter break.
