Pine Knob Elementary students Dayton Wallis, Brandon Addis, Michael Abraham, and Makayla Toumi earned first place in the Michigan Future Problem Solving State Bowl for creative presentation of their action plan.
The competition was April 19-20 at Michigan State University. Students competed against teams from throughout the state as part of the Junior Division for students in grades 4-6.
The State Bowl capped a yearlong program in which students learn to creatively seek, attack, and solve problems about future. About 1,000 Michigan students worked on problems throughout the year.
The Pine Knob team worked on Simulation Technology, Neurotechnology, and Debt in Developing Countries.
