Bottle rockets exploded, mouse trap cars raced, balsa wood planes glided and bridges collapsed at the third annual engineering competition for middle-school students Friday at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center. The bottle rocket, crudely constructed with duct-taped fins and a pointed nose filled with stuffing and an egg, spiraled into the sky and then came smashing back to Earth. This is the third year Sullins has brought students from Summit Middle School to the Francis Tuttle Engineering Challenge. Her students competed against about 200 others from Edmond and Putnam City middle schools in a series of math, engineering and science competitions during an all-day event Friday at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center, 3500 NW 150.
