Our Tri-Tech Skills Center Video Game Design and Culinary Arts students have joined forces in a unique collaboration project, blending tech and creativity! 🍳🎮 Together, they designed a custom app to assist the Culinary Arts program with precise cost calculations. This project not only strengthens their design and coding skills but also simulates real-world client meetings and feedback sessions—an invaluable experience as they work through revisions and suggestions, just like they would with a professional client! Huge #Shoutoput to our talented students for their hard work, adaptability, and creativity. It doesn’t get any more real-world than this!

At the NewTech Prep Annual Automotive Round Table Event, we had the privilege of reconnecting with one of our outstanding alumni, Brayden! Brayden graduated last year from @newtechprep_spokane and @falconsrhs and is now studying at @westernstates.cat Tech Academy. He’s on track to graduate this May as a Generator Tech! Brayden shared how NEWTech played a crucial role in helping him find his career path. Without NEWTech, he might have never discovered Western States and all the incredible opportunities they offer. We’re beyond proud of Brayden’s dedication and success! His story is a true testament to the power of CTE programs in opening doors for students and guiding them toward fulfilling careers.
