📚 ACGC Knowledge Bowl at Subsections! 📚 Today, three ACGC teams—Black, Teal, and Silver—competed in the subsection Knowledge Bowl meet at Ridgewater College! As always, our students started strong in the written round, showcasing their incredible knowledge and ability to tackle tough questions. Throughout four challenging rounds, they demonstrated impressive teamwork, critical thinking, and a love of learning. While none of our teams advanced to regions this time, we are incredibly proud of how they represented ACGC and the success they’ve had all season at competitions across the region. As a first-year coach, Mr Rosengren said, “it has been such a joy to watch these students grow, support one another, and form lasting friendships. Knowledge Bowl isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about learning, teamwork, and having fun beyond the classroom. From seventh to twelfth grade, our Falcons have created a space to challenge themselves, bond over their love of knowledge, and make memories that will last far beyond this season.” Great job, ACGC Knowledge Bowl teams!

🚀 Mission Accomplished! Our Students Become NASA Mathematicians! 🚀 Today, our students embarked on three incredible missions inspired by the brilliant women of Hidden Figures! 🌟 They stepped into the shoes of Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan, solving real-world challenges just like these NASA pioneers did. 🔢 Mission 1: Katherine Johnson’s Trajectory Challenge Students calculated spacecraft flight paths using Katherine Johnson’s famous trajectory formulas—just like she did for John Glenn’s historic orbit! 🧮 They worked in teams, crunching numbers to ensure a successful space journey! 💨 Mission 2: Mary Jackson’s Wind Tunnel Test Students built and tested paper rockets in different wind conditions to understand aerodynamics! Just like Mary Jackson’s work at NASA, they discovered how wind resistance can change a rocket’s flight path. ✈️ 🔠 Mission 3: Dorothy Vaughan’s Coding Challenge Students cracked secret coded messages using a number-letter system, learning the importance of pattern recognition and problem-solving—just like Dorothy Vaughan did when programming NASA’s first computers! 🖥️ 🎉 Our young scientists left today with a deeper appreciation for these trailblazing women and the impact they had on space exploration! Who knows? Maybe one of them will be the next NASA engineer, mathematician, or astronaut!
