Record holders
Proud deck designers of the record-breaking design are Andrew Walsh, Peter Gartland, and Patrick Dean.  
In this section of engineering, students explore the concepts of live load, safety factor and compressive force, and material strength through design process.

​Class Exchange

Mrs. Elofson’s Visual Basic class visited Mrs. Holster’s 5th grade music class this week to familiarize themselves with the Instrument Project and the criteria that she uses to grade each student.  5th grade class Mrs. Elofson’s class will be designing a grading program to facilitate the grading process for Mrs. Holster as she grades roughly 150 students’ instruments based on construction, oral presentation, composition and performance among other elements. In the instrument project, students use recycled materials to engineer a working instrument that plays at least three different sounds.
