The results are in from MESA day at San Jose State University on Saturday, March 6th.

The buses left Woodside at 6:30 a.m. (yes) and did not return until 5:00 p.m.
It was a long, exciting, rewarding day. The 80 Woodside AVID/MESA students
who attended were fully engaged in five different venues spread
around the campus.

First Place Civil Structures Creativity (Balsawood bridge): Izmar Nieto and Nicole Peter, 11th grade

Third Place Balsawood plane: Iris Arellano and Magally Jazo-Vasquez, 12th grade

Woodside swept the Algebra I category.
First Place: Brian Lopez, 9th grade
Second Place: Maritza Triveno, 9th grade
Third Place: Alejandra Prado, 9th grade

All of these students (except the creativity award, unfortunately--Izmar and Nicole) move on to the California Regional competition at Cal State East Bay.
