Students in Freshman Science (Mrs. Burrato) practiced the scientific method with bubbles, last week. The activity helped students see how each step of the scientific method connects to real-world problem solving while making science fun and engaging.

Manufuacturing industry tours today! Students got to visit ALTEK which specializes in injection molding, milling, manufacturing, and robotics (tractors, sprayers, rovers,etc) while the second stop: Hydrafab Northwest (Northwest Trends) provides fabrication design services for industries ranging from food/beverage, biotech, aerospace, manufacturing, and alternative energy (among a few other things).
A fun fact is that one of our SVT alumuns works at NW Trends while also taking college courses, so this is a great example to our current students that they could be doing someing like this shortly after graduating high school at SVT!
Thank you again to these companies, as well as Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce for your partnership in these tours.

Our sports medicine students dove into movement lab today, exploring the power of core strength 💪🧠 Turns out, your core is a lot like a Coke can—when intact, it’s strong and stable, but once compromised… things collapse fast! 🥤 #CoreConcepts #SportsMed #StrongerTogether #CTE #GoodToTheCore
Richland and Kamiakin Career Fairs were lots of fun. Our students love educating others on what we do and the opportunities available in our programs.

As we begin Phase 2 modernization we are able to work for the project to make our own welding tables. Not only does this save money, it's a real world job and we can build them to the exact specifications we want! So exciting! #levelupatwst
Bob Bertsch paid a visit today to see how things have grown at Tri-Tech! As a dedicated member of our Construction Trades Advisory Committee and a consistent supporter, Bob—along with his wife Karen and the Ashley Bertsch Group—helped make our growth possible. Their contracting firm once operated next door, and thanks to their partnership, Tri-Tech was able to purchase the property in 2011.
Since then, we’ve remodeled and expanded the original building ( Building B ) in 2018, and added Building C in 2023—together, these efforts have given us more than 20,000 new square feet of instructional space. This expansion is now home to our Pre-Vet Tech, Pre-Electrical, Law Enforcement, and Firefighting/EMS programs, serving 303 students in these pathways alone.
Bob shared that he and Karen always hoped the property would go to good use and truly make a difference in the community. We’re proud to honor that vision every day!

During Manufacturing Month we’re highlighting Core Plus Aerospace students, graduates and partners who are helping build the advanced manufacturing industry in Washington state.
What’s your advice to students who want to pursue a career in manufacturing?
“The advice I give students is to try it. There are a lot of opportunities that can open your eyes like the summer Student Development Program hosted by Boeing in Washington or a SkillsUSA Washington competition.”
