DEMING - More than 400 high school students from 41 schools across New Mexico gathered at the University of New Mexico last weekend. The students presented their projects at the annual New Mexico Governor’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Challenge.
Deming High School MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement) team were excited to compete and presented their prototype to judges from the following companies: Chevron, Exxon Mobil, El Paso Electric, PNM, Pattern Energy, and Meta (formerly Facebook and Instagram).
DHS MESA students presented a five-minute pitch for their project, Interactive Community Playground Powered by Renewable Energy.
The DHS MESA team came up with a project that would benefit not only Deming High School, but the entire community of Deming.
The student’s project was focused on building an interactive community playground.
The prototype also included an auto-watering system for park landscape, rainwater catchment, and water filtration system for an interactive garden.
Deming High School MESA’s interactive community playground was recognized and selected by Meta. Meta explained that they had chosen Deming High School’s project because it aligned with their mission and vision “to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together” especially during this post-pandemic era.
Apart from recognition, a reward for participating in the challenge, up to a total of $5,000 ($500 per student), is awarded to the winning teams.
