School parking lots are empty and playgrounds strangely quiet but being at home hasn’t stopped students from continuing to work hard to learn, including creating interesting projects.  Many new winners have been selected in the Superintendent’s Project Challenge.  The third round included forty-seven new entries.  Check out the latest projects here.
