Led by Science and Technology teacher Colleen McGuire, the freshman class participated in Worcester Prep’s annual “Maker Day” activity last month. Maker Day is a dedicated day to celebrate inventing, problem solving, working collaboratively and constructing solutions. Drawing on a research project they were working on in History and English classes, the students were challenged to generate a display of automata, which would depict a medieval scene inspired by their research. Taking top honors was the team, pictured, of Camden Rayne, Brooke Phillips, Aria Islam, Kate Abbott and Sydney Lamson-Reich. The winning design incorporated moving horses, knights and medieval ladies in the design. Submitted Photos
