Spokane Valley Tech Friendsgiving breakfast this morning in Mrs. Schultz Humanities class (juniors). The students wanted to plan a celebration for each other. Well deserved as they finished their Crucible final projects last week. Some groups made graphic novels, did drawings, or even made computer game concepts. We love seeing the ideas they come up with for final projects as it often involves what they are learning in their CTE classes, like computer science. Featured picture: Abigail and the yellow bird in a computer game. Wow, that's impressive! Last picture: The Gobble Games trophy...what class will take it home?!?

Please join us in congratulating WANIC Skill Center Director, Kari Schuh who earned her Ed.D in Education Leadership this week from Washington State University! Dr. Schuh's dissertation titled, "THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM"—CAREER AND TECHNICAL SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH: NARRATIVES OF FEMALE STUDENTS OF COLOR, explores the transformative impact of supportive environments, early engagement, and the strategic use of community cultural wealth in shaping the STEM experiences of female students of color. Dr. Shuh's research not only advances knowledge in the field but also has the potential to create meaningful, positive change in the lives of students, particularly those from historically underrepresented groups in STEM. As a lifelong learner, Dr. Schuh is an asset to our Skill Center. FB Post Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cv5dByy6vcQZMbV/ #STEM #lifelonglearner #Femalestudentsofcolor #creatingchange
