History and Info
Galvin Middle School [GMS] started their science team in the year 2008. The team was comprised of students in grades 5,7, and 8. The team had around 20 competitors on it. In 2009 GMS will welcome students in grades 5-9 to be on the team.
State Competition Results
In 2008, Galvin's first year of competition, they entered in 20 of the 23 events and received a score of 140 which put them in 6th place. The three events they didn't enter were Balloon-Launched Glider, Scrambler, and Robo-cross. They also only entered one event [crave the wave] for participation points. The schools clear weakness is the building events. in 2008 they didn't enter 3 of them but the ones they did enter they scored in the top of the second tier. In 2009 GMS hopes to enter every event but that just may not be possible.
