Students visited the flight facility, launch pads, range and mission management control room, and balloon program. Thank you Pat Benner and Joyce Winterton for the intimate tour and a shout out to our two WCPS-WTHS alumni who are working in high profile positions at NASA. NASA is hiring and we need our WCPS graduates working there!
Students in aerospace engineering are learning all about lift and drag. They are using an airfoil simulator to investigate the effect of airfoil shape and angle of attack. Next they will be using the geometry data to model their airfoil in 3d software and test in a wind tunnel.
Full circle projects allow the students to connect what they learn about with testing done in the industry

A shout out to the Ocean City Hotel Motel and Restaurant Association. A great dinner meeting that featured speakers from Junior Achievement, Chef Phill Cropper and Coordinator Dr. Brian Phillips from WTHS, and Wor-Wic Community College. The pipeline that connects middle school to high school and college works, and it is great to see the community support in our great Ocean City and Worcester County.
Dr. Makuchal and her nursing students are learning one of the more difficult skills in the business: taking accurate blood pressure readings. In today's challenge, independent groups of students had to take their administrators' BPs without sharing readings and come out with the same exact numbers- which they did! Great job to our students and a shout out to Dr. Makuchal.

Great job Marcus and a shout out to his welding "coach" Rick Stephens!
Becky Tetter from the student services department at University of Maryland College Park's institute of applied agriculture visited with students and shared how students could earn a degree in the several programs they offer and the careers those degrees pipeline into.
