Fairchild Challenge Competition 2019-2020
Despite the unusual and nontraditional approach to the Fairchild Challenge Competition, Archimedean Upper Conservatory continued in completion of individual challenges and represented our school at the Zoom Symposium Event with the NASA scientists and judges of the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden and submitted necessary entries for the year-long 2019-2020 competition. Our perseverance bore fruits and our students won multiple awards and Special Merits.
AUC placed SECOND in the overall competition among 55 high schools from Miami-Dade County.
