On Friday her 11th grade Humanities got to go to The Spokane House Interpretive Center which explores the history of the early fur trade in Spokane and local Native American culture. Thank you to Ranger Kara for all her detailed information on this part of local history. Then in the afternoon they got to go to The Davenport Hotel and check out the tree displays and the amazing 1920's style archetecture of the hotel. The first photo shows students checking out the Hall of Doges which is modeled after Venetian Gothic Style. (photo 1-3)
On Thursday, her digital media class got to go to both Whitworth & SFCC to check out their art galleries and buildings. Plus, at SFCC they also got to have a chat with two professors of their Graphic Design program. Thank you to Stacey at Whitworth; Cozette, John, Sean, and Ira at SFCC. Our students LOVED visiting both campuses.

SEATech’s Construction Technology program, under the direction of Teacher Eric Matson and Shop Technician Para-Educator Matthew Stimmel, took top honors at this year’s Walla Walla Parade of Lights with an extraordinary Peter Pan–themed float. This epic 60-foot, 15-foot-tall pirate ship, complete with three masts, four staircases and a dramatic showdown between Peter Pan and Captain Hook, amazed all the parade goers. More than 60 students from Construction Technology and Audio Video Technology programs partnered to design, engineer, and build the 7,800-pound structure, making it one of SEATech’s most ambitious projects yet, according to Matson.
A Showcase of Skilled Trades
• The float brought together carpentry, electrical work, staging, sound engineering, structural design, and decorative arts. Students applied advanced skills to frame and assemble the ship, install rigging, fabricate set pieces, and safely integrate all mechanical and electrical components.
Lighting & Electrical Highlights
• 75 high-output LED lights
• 1,400 feet of extension cord
• 600 feet of speaker cable
• 6,000 watts of audio
• Three independent generators
• These systems powered the immersive battle scene, keeping characters, sails, and multi-level details brilliantly illuminated from start to finish along the parade route.
Materials & Construction
• 240 yards of fabric for sails, rigging, draping, and costuming
• All lumber repurposed from previous SEATech projects
• Full-scale construction of masts, staircases, railings, and decking
• Students leaned heavily on blueprint reading, precise framing, and careful load distribution to bring the full-size pirate ship to life while reinforcing SEATech’s commitment to sustainability through material reuse.
Hands-On Learning at Its Best
• Students gained experience in construction planning, electrical wiring, power management, tool operation, problem-solving, and team leadership—while proudly representing SEATech Skills Center at a major community event.
SEATech’s Grand Champion float stands as a testament to student talent, teamwork, and the real-world learning that defines the Skills Center experience.

You can get pictures with Santa on the spot. You aren't going to want to miss it! 🎅🏻
What's an entrepreneur fair?? It's a pop-up market of student made goods.
@primesourcecu brought financial literacy to life for our Auto Tech students today with hands-on iPad simulations. Grateful for partners who help prepare our students for the road ahead. #connectwithnewtech
Thank you to Horizon Credit Union and Kathleen Makena for sponsoring our team in this event. It was a great learning opportunity for our students and gave our members a chance to make connections while sharing our work in the community and how we strive to build STEM and Robotics skills not only for our SVT students, but for all members of our K-12 community.

Our NCTA Construction students are all smiles as they cut precise openings in the OSB panels used to build the Fire Science class dollhouse. This small-scale structure helps our Fire Science students visualize how air moves during a fire—an essential training tool brought to life by our talented builders.
Hands-on learning supporting hands-on learning… we love the collaboration! 👍🪚📐🔥 #teamwork #collaboration #HandsOnLearning
Our 2nd year Maritime students, Mason and Flint, are putting their skills to the test as they work independently on a hull repair! From applying gel coat to patch holes, to sanding down fiberglass for a clean finish. These two are proving they have what it takes to get the job done right! Future marine pros in the making! 🛠️🌊✨💫

🎧 Digital Sound seniors Jack & Tim are running the new studio control room like pros — adjusting the “gain” on a Fredenstein mic pre-amp while their classmates in the tracking room record an original composition.
With video communication, mics, headphones, and monitors connecting both rooms, students can literally see and hear each other as they create together. 🔊✨ @PugetSoundSkillsCenter
