Calling All Engineers! We Need Your Expertise!
Jackson-Reed High School boasts over several career academies. One of the largest academies within the school is the NAF Academy of Engineering. In our efforts to ensure our engineering students are receiving a quality experience during their time in the academy, we want to build a culture of showcasing and celebrating student work with their families. But we also want students to stretch and grow their standards of practice through feedback and conversations with industry professionals.
This is where you come in!
We are planning an engineering expo here at Jackson-Reed on December 6th from 6:00-8:00pm.
Students from all levels of our engineering courses will be sharing projects science-fair style.
We are looking for a a variety of engineers to work with our students.
- Give feedback on projects
- Give students an audience to practice their presentation skills
- Host a table to showcase your professional experiences that relate to the projects or can inspire the students
- Provide the support of the engineering community.
