Coached by Public School Systems\u2019 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Fair director Jeaniffer Cubangbang, the Dolphinatic Architects\u2019 Michaela Gatdula told Saipan Tribune that the experience has brought them together. <\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to win first place with my team was such an honor, knowing that all the hard work did not go to waste,\u201d said Gatdula.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing through the process really made us all close, which was also a blessing, knowing that it also made us a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
The theme for the competition this year is the school setting. Participants would design a school campus that is able to \u201cencompass environmental sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n
