Erie High School earned national recognition at NASA’s 31st Human Exploration Rover Challenge, held April 10-12 in the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. The team of seniors placed third overall in the high school division of the Remote Control Rover category, a new addition to the competition this year. Erie High School was also awarded first place in the Most Improved category, after boosting their overall score by 16 points from Day 1 to Day 2 of the competition.

The students, currently enrolled in Erie High School’s senior capstone design course, have been working on their rover projects since October, after self-selecting their project tracks in August earlier this year. Their preparation included classes in computer-aided design (CAD), mechanical engineering, and structural design, making the competition a true culmination of their high school engineering education. These advanced courses are a part of Erie High School’s Academy of Engineering and Aerospace, a four year engineering pathway that prepares students to compete in their post-secondary engineering pursuits.
The capstone class structure mirrors that of a professional engineering team, utilizing scrum boards, project reports, and collaborative workflows. Over the past several months, students have submitted design documentation and progress updates to NASA engineers for review and feedback, a key part of the selection process that earned them one of only 75 spots in the international competition. Additionally, Erie High School was one of only two Colorado high schools invited to compete.
The Erie High School team’s remote control rover
Competing in both the Human-Powered and Remote Control Rover categories, students were challenged to design and fabricate nearly all components of their rovers, including wheels, chassis, and control systems. In addition, they built a functional spectrometer and a distance sensor to determine whether a liquid was water, and to measure proximity to objects within the course. The half-mile course was designed to simulate terrain found on the moon or Mars, including 10 different obstacles.
Beyond the accolades, the experience offered students invaluable professional exposure. Many made meaningful connections with NASA engineers and industry professionals. With a second competition under their belts, Erie High School’s team has proven their technical abilities and cemented their place among the top young engineering minds in the world.
On Monday, May 12, students at Soaring Heights PK-8 conducted a cafeteria waste audit with the help of Eco-Cycle’s Green Star Schools program associates.
Eco-Cycle Green Star Schools Program associates explain the purpose of a waste audit to students at Soaring Heights PK-8
As Soaring Heights PK-8 becomes a Green Star School in the upcoming 2025-26 school year, this waste audit establishes a baseline of how effectively students and staff are currently sorting waste, and identifying areas where recycling and composting could be improved. Based on the results of the audit, participating students will share their findings next year in the form of announcements and posters.

The participating students from grades four through five were chosen for their demonstrated commitment to environmental stewardship and their eagerness to serve as leaders in recycling and composting efforts. A key component of the Green Star School Program is student engagement. Schools work to build student-led teams that advocate for and model zero-waste behaviors, helping to build a culture of sustainability from the inside out. The program, active in 23 schools across the district, provides resources, training and support for composting, recycling, and waste-reduction practices.

In addition to waste audits, Eco-Cycle offers a range of educational resources and in-school presentations for students, teachers, and PTO groups. The organization collaborates directly with schools to integrate environmental education into everyday learning, emphasizing real-world action and community impact. As a Green Star School sponsor, St. Vrain Valley Schools is dedicated to leading energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives that directly benefit the St. Vrain Valley School community.

Becoming a Green Star School marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Soaring Heights PK-8. The cafeteria waste audit was one of many steps towards kickstarting a school-wide transformation that empowers students to take charge of sustainability efforts and influence real change. Not only do students learn about zero-waste practices—they lead them. For the 15 students selected as sustainability champions, their participation is essential in building a culture of responsibility and stewardship that will ripple throughout the school, district, and broader St. Vrain Valley School community.

Longmont High senior Anya Wieder’s interest in conservation as a future career was sparked by her work at St. Vrain Valley’s Innovation Center.
She took bioscience classes and joined an afterschool group working on reintroducing the northern redbelly dace fish to the St. Vrain River. While the team has moved on to reintroducing the northern leopard frog, it’s still the hands-on conservation work she loves.
