MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The best and brightest of our local students spent Friday at Discovery World for this year's Engineering Machine Design Contest. 

Several teams of high school students presented their complex machines made of everyday items, each focusing on water technology, in the spirit of this year's theme -- Current of Creativity. 

"When we look at teamwork, we're looking at everybody has to present the machine, everybody has to rely on somebody else to set up a step, because you can't do it all by yourself," said Dana McLaren, coach, Eisenhower engineering team. 

STEM professionals from local companies worked as judges at the event, sending the top three teams to the design championships at Waukesha County Technical College late next month.
