Key to Awesomeness: This is an annual regional competition for fifth-graders throughout Allegheny County.  The boys were selected to represent Osborne Elementary based on their top scores in the preliminary science competition held in the fifth-grade science classes.  While at the Carnegie Science Center, the boys had to solve four creative challenges while working collaboratively as a team.  At the end of the day, when all the team scores were totaled, Osborne Elementary took first place.
