🚘Last week, Mr. Traxler's Advanced Engineering class took part in the second annual derby car competition. The students each designed their cars. Most were 3D-printed. Some had a few other added materials. Students got style points as well as distance points. Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Traxler (who stopped by just to help!) were line judges. Style judges: Warren, Schultz, Lewis, Baumann, and St. Pierre When all was said and done, the car that was the most round (like a barrel) won second place while the most thinnest won first. "Lil' Barrel" team: Sal K & Nathan S; "Grimm" team: Braiden P & Duncan M. Mrs. Warren noticed that the course hand some strong angles and was a good example of a vector. We loved seeing the students use creativity with their technical skills! #svt #wearesvt #stemschool #stemeducation #engineering #pinewoodderby #3dprinting

Second Apprenticeship Information Night, welcoming 15 apprenticeship programs and families from across the region. Attendees had the chance to meet apprenticeship coordinators and instructors while learning how to enter these career pathways in the future. Apprenticeships are one of the best opportunities for students to gain hands-on training, enter the workforce, and start earning—without the burden of debt. Did you know NEWTech is a registered pre-apprenticeship site? That means our Construction Trades programs have articulations with multiple apprenticeship programs, giving our students a competitive advantage upon completion. #connecteithnewtech

Aerospace Manufacturing students were given a VIP tour of the world's largest building (by volume), the Boeing Mega Factory in Everett, WA. Because of their status as students in a Boeing partner program, they were given special access to walk the shop floor around some of the largest commercial aircraft in the world. Unfortunately, due to the proprietary nature of what goes on inside the factory, we were not allowed to take pictures. The included photo shows the students touring the 777X fatigue test facility located next to the Boeing campus. The 777X is the latest version of the Boeing 777 aircraft. It is different from the previous versions primarily because of its use of advanced carbon fiber wings on the aluminum fuselage body. The fatigue test was designed to simulate all of the stresses encountered in flight, from a normal smooth flight to worse than anything the plane would ever encounter in the sky. It's currently over 50,000 simulated flight cycles since 2020. For over 100 years, Boeing has been building airplanes in the Puget Sound region, making it one of, if not the most important industry in our region. #Boeing #PugetSound #boeing777 #coreplusaerospace #VIPExperience 📸 Credit Future of Flight
