The program gives 45 middle school students the opportunity to design, build and test water rockets while learning from university professors. "Really fun.

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. — A new roundabout is coming to the intersection of Buckingham Road and Gunnery Road in Lehigh Acres, but some people who live nearby are skeptical about whether it will improve traffic flow. The $4.8 million single-lane roundabout aims to create continuous traffic flow and reduce car crashes at the busy intersection. "70-80 miles an hour until they hit that curve," Dan Wilsey said, describing how cars typically speed down Buckingham Road.
