St. Paul’s Lutheran School participated in the Celebrate Science program at the McWane Science Center in Birmingham on April 17, 2014. Students were asked to build a prototype of an exhibit they would enjoy seeing at McWane. They chose constellations, and designed an interactive prototype named “Constellation Visualizer.” Out of the 21 schools participating, St. Paul’s placed in the top five winning the McWaniac award.

The McWaniac award is an award voted on by the staff as their favorite prototype. The class also received $500 to use in their classroom.
