Norwell's young engineers play with marbles

On Tuesday, students in Mr. White's Project Lead the Way engineering class showed off marble sorters that they had been working on for the past three weeks. All marble sorters were connected to a computer program. They all included three engines to get separate the marbles by color into different bins, as well as one additional engine for the light scanner. Although each creation was extremely different from the others, the marble sorters were a success, all of them working 100% on showday.
