On October 24, The Browning School's Form VI Advanced Engineering Design class traveled to Massachusetts to compete in the Ten80 New England Green Flag Invitational, part of an initiative that challenges middle and high school students in and out of schools to optimize the performance of 1:10 scale radio controlled cars. Director of Academic Technology Jeremy Sambuca reports: The all-day event was held at the North American headquarters of Dassault Systemes in Waltham, Mass. Clutch Motorsports, our team name, competed in three points-based categories, including pit crew analysis, three-minute elevator pitch and a race event.

Photos were taken by Aniekeme Akpan '14 at the competition.
