Here's a few pictures of last weeks session 2 of Pitch Day at Spokane Valley Tech.
Our students did an incredible job presenting their year-long projects during both sessions, showcasing creativity, hard work, and real-world problem-solving.
Thank you to all the industry and community partners who joined us. We saw a few of last years alumni stop by too, so that was nice to have their support. We appreciate everyone who took the time to listen, support, and provide feedback—your involvement makes a meaningful impact in our students projects!

We had an amazing time celebrating the end of the 1st Quarter a few weeks ago. Many came dressed up in creative costumes, bringing lots of energy and excitement to campus. Several of our programs joined in the fun by hosting themed activities and friendly competitions that kept everyone engaged.
To top it off, we treated our students to a delicious nacho bar—always a favorite! It was a wonderful way to come together and wrap up the 1st quarter on a high note.

1/14/25: Last Friday, Civil & Environmental Engineering students went on a field trip to the Upriver Dam and Well, accompanied by Mrs. Lambert and Ms. Buratto.
Our students explored how civil and environmental engineering comes to life in the real world! They learned how engineers design and maintain large structures, manage water flow, and protect surrounding ecosystems. Huge thank-you to our hosts for giving students an inside look at engineering in action—it was an inspiring and informative field trip! 🌊👷♀️👷♂️

✨ A Little Behind-the-Scenes from Our Tri-Tech Culinary Arts 5-Course Dinner! ✨
Friday night’s dinner was awesome - and our Culinary Arts students totally crushed it! 👩🍳👨🍳 We snapped some pics of what was happening behind the kitchen door, so you can see all the fun (and hard work!) that went into making the night happen. Huge shoutout to these students for putting their hearts into this dinner. We’re so proud of them - and we hope you enjoy this little backstage look!

At CBTECH, we believe that empowering students with real-world, life-saving skills is just as important as preparing them academically. That’s why learning First Aid and becoming certified in CPR is such a valuable opportunity for our students, and it's an opportunity given to all our students. #CBTech

Back by popular demand...SVT Entrepreneur Fair. Saturday December 13th right here at SVT.
We did one last spring; it had a good turn out of vendors and shoppers. This is sponorsed again by SVT PTO. This is a perfect time to get holiday gifts! Support our students who will be selling their handmade goods.

Our Pharmacy Tech students explored compounding last week! They practiced filling capsules with safe demo ingredients and learned about active vs. inactive ingredients and the “punch method.”

🔥In our 👨🏽🚒Fire Science & EMS class, the dollhouse burn is one of the most powerful demonstrations we use to help students visualize how fire behaves. This scaled-down structure allows us to clearly observe fire dynamics, including heat movement, smoke layering, ventilation effects, and how quickly conditions can change inside an enclosure.
One of the most important lessons from a dollhouse burn is the concept of the flow path - the route fire, heat, and smoke take as they move through a structure. Even in a small model, it becomes obvious how opening a single door or window can dramatically intensify fire spread and change interior conditions within seconds.
For firefighters, understanding these principles isn’t optional - it’s essential. Recognizing flow paths, anticipating fire behavior, and making smart ventilation decisions directly impact crew safety, fireground efficiency, and survivability for anyone inside the building.
Hands-on demonstrations like the dollhouse burn help turn theory into real-world insight, preparing future firefighters to make quick and informed decisions when it matters most.

Engineering students at Wa-Hi put their design skills to the test in this semester’s Bridge Building Challenge. Teams worked together to design, construct, and then stress test their bridges — loading them up until they finally gave way!
From innovative designs to impressive load-bearing performances, this hands-on project taught teamwork, structural analysis, and the importance of learning through failure.

CBTECH Open House Recap
Thank you to all the parents and students who joined us for our CBTECH Open House a few weeks ago! We loved having families on campus to see firsthand what students have been working on this year.
Each program opened its doors, with teachers available to share details about their curriculum, hands-on projects, and career pathways. It was a great opportunity for families to ask questions, explore classrooms, and connect with our amazing staff.
We also had a translator on site to support families needing language assistance, ensuring everyone felt welcome and included.
And of course, our CBTECH Café was open and serving delicious hot and cold drinks, along with fresh café goodies made by our students!
Thank you for being part of our CBTECH community. We’re proud of our students and grateful for the support of their families!

Resumen del Open House de CBTECH
¡Gracias a todos los padres y estudiantes que nos acompañaron en nuestro Open House de CBTECH! Nos encantó recibir a las familias en el campus para que pudieran ver de primera mano en qué han estado trabajando nuestros estudiantes este año.
Cada programa abrió sus puertas, y los maestros estuvieron disponibles para compartir detalles sobre su plan de estudios, los proyectos prácticos y las diferentes trayectorias profesionales. Fue una excelente oportunidad para que las familias hicieran preguntas, explorarán las aulas y conectaran con nuestro increíble personal.
También contamos con un traductor en el lugar para apoyar a las familias que necesitaban asistencia lingüística, asegurando que todos se sintieran bienvenidos e incluidos.
Y por supuesto, ¡nuestro Café CBTECH estuvo abierto sirviendo deliciosas bebidas calientes y frías, junto con las ricas golosinas preparadas por nuestros estudiantes!
Gracias por ser parte de nuestra comunidad CBTECH. ¡Estamos orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes y agradecidos por el apoyo de sus familias!
