A fearless group of girls in the Project-Based Learning class tackled the destruction, removal, redesign and construction of a deck on the rear of the technology department’s office. The team utilized a significant amount of mathematics skill in laying out the new design for the deck, squaring the structure and measuring. Soon, they will learn about slope as they prepare to build steps to accompany the deck. The goal for all WBL students is to attain 300 hours of successful employment and be considered career ready at graduation. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation. (Photos courtesy of Jeff Fremin.)
