Congratulations to Tess, Neve and Gibson for earning the 2024 International Innovation Merit Award at the Real World Design Challenge (RWDC)! The RWDC is an annual competition that provides high school students, grades 9-12, the opportunity to work on real world engineering challenges in a team environment. Each year presents a new challenge that many of our nation's leading industries face. This year the students were tasked with developing an uncrewed aircraft to support wildfire mitigation. Silver Summit Academy’s Engineering Capstone Class (aka Team Yeti ) competed against 21 state winning teams and national winners from around the world, including India, Pakistan and China. Their design, Inferno, won the 2024 International Innovation Merit Award. If you're wondering why the world's engineering experts turn to high schoolers for help in solving today's tough issues? This is why. The students' teacher, Mrs. Rydalch explained that the Inferno is unique because the students, "utilized a generator system for propulsion rather than a battery and used SATCOM to solve a whole host of communication challenges providing reliability and durability to meet mission needs.” SATCOM stands for Satellite Communications Datalink and allows aircraft to communicate with ground users like Air Traffic Control and other ground operations centers using voice or datalink recordings. Mrs. Rydalch and all of South Summit School District is so proud of these students and we cannot wait to see what their future will bring. #WeAreSouthSummit #SSAUtah #RWDC24 #UTPublicEd

South Summit is lucky to have a dedicated Speech Pathologist on board to help our students who have speech and language concerns. We love to see their boost in confidence as their speech skills improve .
