After having visited NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, AVID students took things to the next level and participated in the Name Nasa's Next Mars Rover contest. Students had to come up with a name for the rover, which will be launched in 2020, and explain why they chose that name. Writing, creativity, and speaking skills were all a part of this process, and students' hard work showed. Take a few minutes to listen to Ivana Carreno (8th grade), Adrian Zamarripa (8th grade), Jairo Salcedo (7th grade), and Chrysandra Chally (8th grade). They all had speeches that were out of this world!
