Doniphan Middle School science students faced the task of designing and building a vehicle to transport a ping-pong ball across a distance of 2-4 meters. It's all a part of the Design Challenge each semester emphasizing the STEAM method of education mixing science, technology, engineering, art and math. Winners were announced during a school assembly held March 28.
