The Career and Technical Education (CTE) department took students to the Local 150 Operating Engineers Training Facility in Wilmington as part of National Apprenticeship Week. Students toured the training facility and gained insights into careers such as heavy machine operator, heavy machine technician, construction building inspector, and geothermal and water well drilling specialist. The students engaged in several hands-on learning experiences. It was a great visit and we appreciate the collaboration!

Our Geometry in Construction class had a field trip to Home Depot! The students were required to figure out area, lateral area and surface area to determine square footage and total costs of materials needed for a project. Students were divided into groups to figure out costs of the cheapest materials and the most expensive materials while interacting with employees. It was a great real life experience for our students! @mchs_geometry_in_construction
