On Friday, March 22, Wayne Central middle and high school students had the opportunity to participate in Tech Wars hosted by the State University of New York at Oswego.

Tech Wars offers an engaging and immersive educational experience, allowing students to extend their learning beyond the confines of the classroom. Through a variety of exciting challenges such as CO2 Dragster Races, the Rube Goldberg Challenge, CAD Skills competitions, Catapult construction, Air Racers, Mousetrap Cars, Balsa Bridge building, and the Cardboard Boat Regatta, participants not only showcase their technological talents but also put their creativity and problem-solving abilities to the test.
