ENGINEERING & ENTREPRENEURSHIP:
FUTURE CITY, TSA & NSBE...
Students in Mr. Lee's Engineering & Entrepreneurship Class, in a multi-collaborative effort with National student organizations, facilitated by Mr. Lee. The Technology Student Association (TSA), provided our class organization models. They designed and constructed doghouses for local pets through Tammy Cavanaugh's Virginia Learning Academy (VLA) and Stacey Norris's Houses Of Wood & Straw (HOWS); two non-profit organizations to deliver pets outdoors-needed shelter.
Students in the National Society of Black Engineers developed robot designs in order to enhance environmental green features like solar panels and wind energy. They presented these at the regional conference in Pittsburg, PA, taking second place. The Entrepreneurship class took on the Future City competition, where they utilized Sim City software to create simulations and design a city development plan to implement the "Doghouse Town," which students presented at NASA in Hampton, VA
All of which was facilitated by local professionals as in-class mentors for hands-on assistance by companies like Mcdonough Architecture, R. E. Lee & DPR Construction, UVA Facilities Management. From AutoCAD to live tools for construction its interactive...
