On Thursday, February 20th, a group of West Fork students attended Sukup Engineering Day! They joined students from other North Iowa schools and enjoyed a day of connecting and networking with experts, attending hands-on workshop rotations that included information on thermodynamics, fluids/airflow, 3D printing, 3D drafting software and structural design. They enjoyed a nice lunch followed by a tour of the plant. Thank you to Sukup for hosting the event!

Geometry students used proportional relationships in similar triangles to estimate heights during class today.
