HRMS Hosts Girl Powered Event Harris Road Middle School hosted a REC Foundation and VEX Robotics Girl Powered Event on October 10th. Female students ranging from 6th-8th grade were treated to a presentation by Stacy Jarrett of Jarrett Engineering and participated in a hands-on activity that involved building a structure out of spaghetti noodles and tape. The REC Foundation and VEX Robotics launched Girl Powered with a goal to double the participation of girls in robotics over the next five years. Harris Road will house three competitive robotics teams starting this year, each consisting of female members in an effort to help achieve this goal. Local Professionals Host Trade Events at MPHS Local masonry professionals have been hosting various educational sessions for students at Mount Pleasant High School. The sessions, scheduled throughout the first semester, occur every few weeks and allow students to gain focused knowledge about the construction industry. Session highlights range from learning about new software and heavy equipment to hands-on activities surrounding masonry. The events also give students the opportunity to network with local construction companies. The final session in December was setup similar to a job fair where students could ask questions, connect with agencies, and potentially begin their career. The session featured new software and technology in the industry. Griffin Masonry demonstrated how a drone is used for inventory management.
