Things to See and Do at Our Open House

  • Our open house will be from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2024.

     

    • Be greeted by Engineering Academy freshmen. Ask them questions about their experiences so far in Engineering and their transfer to high school. 
    • Take a student-led tour of Engineering Academy workspaces, including each grade level classroom, wood shop, and metal shop. On the tour you will be guided around Engineering Academy seniors, juniors, and sophomores as they talk about projects they have worked on and answer your questions. The tour will have multiple stops to see a video from each of our seven instructors talking about the classes they teach.
    • See our 3D printer and items that students have designed and printed.
    • See our metal shop and hear from students on how using the CNC router, mill, lathe, and other tools have helped bring their designs to life.
    • In the Commons, each of our five capstones will have their projects on display including FIRST Robotics competition robot, electric car, combat robotics, FIRST Tech Challenge robot, wheelchair costumes, and more.
    • Watch robotics matches of the junior engineering students competing with their FTC robots. Walk through the pits and ask students about their design choices of their robots and how they decided to solve the problem. 
    • Talk with freshmen and sophomores about the projects they worked on during the freshman school year, including earthquake-resistant buildings, pinhole cameras, and arduino programing.
    • See examples of projects from unique elective classes such as Material Science and CAD III.
    • Meet with the Engineering Academy instructors and get answers to your questions.
