LYNX Grade 10: LYNX scholars host STEM Day!
"The FHS Maryland Science Olympiad (MSO) team is a great place to have fun and do STEM activities without so many rules. There are so many different ways you can create a car or a catapult, or you can innovate and invent a new rocket. MSO is the place to let your imagination flow. Our STEM day provided the opportunity for students to use their own unique ideas and put them to the test."
-- Nisha Thope, LYNX Scholar, Class of 2021
