Congratulations to Driscoll’s 2012 Knowledge Master team who beat their own score from the winter competition! The team of twenty nine fourth and fifth grade students placed first in Ohio and seventh in the U. S. (including Indonesia, Korea and Singapore) out of 210 teams. Answering 94 of 100 questions correctly requires “collaboration for 29 students to quickly talk out and then decide upon an answer and for one person to filter correct answers and then submit the answer to the judges,” according to Driscoll GIS Kathy Spyrou.
