Eeks. Guess it's been a few weeks. This seems to be the longest, yet busiest time of year. Long, in that the cold weather is just getting a little old and busy in that there seems to be lots and lots going on.
Last Thursday we hosted our annual JETS test at ICC. JETS is the Junior Engineering Technical Society and they sponsor a national engineering test competition for high school students. We had 170+ students from GR, NK, DR, HC, Hibbing, and Mesabi East. They took a 90 minute multiple choice test on the engineering of amusement parks in the morning, then did the West Point Bridge design contest at lunch, followed by an open format 90 minute test in the afternoon (think PE afternoon test - it is just like it!). I was proud that my boy and his team-mates from Hill City took home a first place trophy.
Last Saturday I was fortunate enough to attend Todd B's wedding in Chisholm. It was a great event and kind of like old home week. There are five members of the family that I taught and there were 9 more alum in attendance. To top it off I was able to bring Baby E to show off!
Most of my work time this past two weeks has been spent gaining industry support for the engineering academy. The support has been overwhelming. There could be an approval this coming week for funding for a 3 year startup!! Stay tuned.....
