Yesterday, the 8th grade class took a trip up to Eau Claire to visit CVTC for their first college visit of the year. There, they learned about what a technical college is, what majors and courses CVTC offers, as well as specific benefits of technical education. Along with this, the students were able to visit the engineering department where CVTC professors demonstrated specific course competencies related to engineering, such as welding, electronic currents, basic machine engineering, and more. Great job 8th grade!

Yesterday, the Fabrication team, consisting of Trevor Keeler, Jackson Reed, Hunter Schmalzriedt, and Jacoby Dodge, took the car they built to the Lacrosse Speedway. This day was more of a test run for the team to work out the bugs in their cars, as there was no polling at this race. Nice job guys!
