Staples Engineering Team Wins Honors

Westport’s Staples High School Engineering Team has won second place in the National Engineering Design Challenge. The engineering team, which includes students in grades 9-12, had to design a product that would enable people with disabilities either to enter the workforce or to continue working at their present jobs. The students designed a file cabinet that enables a person with limited fine motor skills or painful conditions such as arthritis, to store and retrieve files easily, with minimal pain. The school system did not provide identities of students pictured. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
