In our Discovering Computer Science class, the students dove into the problem-solving process by taking on a hands-on engineering challenge—designing a boat that could float while holding as many pennies as possible.
Students sketched their initial boat designs and identified potential strengths and weaknesses before building.
Once their boats set sail, they tested how many pennies they could hold before sinking. After collecting data from their first trial, students reflected on what worked well and what could be improved.
Using their test results, students redesigned their boats, applying what they learned to create stronger, more efficient designs.
This project not only reinforced the iterative design process, but also encouraged critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and teamwork—skills that are essential in both computer science and the real world.

Our Agriculture students recently came together to design and build a catapult for their team —but this project was about much more than engineering. It was a hands-on lesson in teamwork, one of the most important soft skills in both agriculture and life.
In the agricultural world, no job is done alone. From planting and harvesting to managing equipment and solving problems in the field, collaboration is key. Farmers, ranchers, agribusiness professionals, and scientists work together every day to feed and sustain our communities.
By working side-by-side, our students learned how to communicate, share responsibilities, solve challenges creatively, and celebrate successes as a team—skills that will serve them in any career they choose. In agriculture, teamwork doesn’t just grow crops—it grows leaders!

Our Sports Entertainment & Marketing students put their skills to the test this week—focusing on teamwork and communication. Through hands-on activities, they learned how working together and sharing ideas lead to stronger results—skills that will serve them well both on and off the field.
These future leaders are gaining experience that goes beyond the classroom, preparing them for success in sports, business, and life!
