Conquerors
Teams from 46 schools participated in the Conqueror of the Hill, an annual applied physics/engineering competition for NJ high school students, held in McDonnell Hall on March 11. The teams competed in designing a machine to project styrofoam balls into receptacles located on six-foot long "hills" made of plywood (the helper, above, was too young to be a regular team member or a judge, despite his sign). First prizes of $5,000 scholarships for postsecondary school were awarded to each member of the winning four-person team from Moorestown Friends School. This was the ninth year of the annual contest, which is sponsored by Lucent Technologies and the NJ Business/Industry/Science Education Consortium -- and the first year for Princeton.
